@Fitty7lax:

True - not likely in the R8. Dollars to donuts this motor will become a mill option for the R10, though.

@edgett: I suppose you would say the same thing about the LM002.

All vehicles are ugly unless they are actually used as intended.

They should just put out a retro Type-C to celebrate that engine. Or a crazy mid-engine RSRSS6 Avant(whatever it would be called at that point) like VW did with that W12 GTI Golf concept.

Personally, I love the way the Q7 looks. And LemursGT is right, this diesel is one mean mother. I think Audi is probably testing the waters for s super high performance diesel before shoehorning this monster into othe rcars. I think the S5 will be the next beneficiary, not the R8, as the R8 already has 2 engine choices.

Edgett: It's a racing bred diesel, I wouldn't count on it weighing in at the 1,000+ lbs that it would take to get the Q7 up over the 3 ton mark.

Plus...738ft/lb! I mean come ON man, if you're going to drive a diesel anything, drive one that MEANS it.
