Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans Revealed For Geneva!
With the Geneva Motor Show mere hours away, the reveals are coming fast and furious. Here's the latest from the multi-ringed brand — the Audi R8 V12 TDI LeMans. If you'll remember, they first revealed this oil-burning bad-ass at the Detroit Auto Show back in January. But now it'll get ready for the track. That's because this is apparently the first 12-cylinder diesel engine in a high-performance roadgoing sports car. So with a 6.0-liter diesel under the hood, this R8 concept car will generate around 500 HP and 737.56 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that's the same as the Audi Q7 V12 TDI that broke over the weekend. But did that look anything like this thing of beauty we have before us? And did that have a 0-to-62 time of just 4.2 seconds? And with this beautiful "Brilliant Red" paint? Didn't think so. Hit the jump for the full press release.More »
