2007 4 06 2007 
No you are not dreaming, to mark the rings really intends to raise its diesel engines in its concetpion GT, the R8. Finally when we see the performance of the V10 TDI, we can expect such strong feelings that the gasoline version. Audi is still under study on the implementation of these little bigger engine oil and test different configurations to see which or which of its engines could fit into its supercar.
The most likely would be the 4.2-liter TDI of 326 horses. The improbable is the 233 hp V6, nothing like to break the image of a dream car. And finally the must of course must be the V12 TDI of 500 hp and 740 Nm of torque from the famous R10, which will face this year on the circuit of Le Mans with Peugeot. But despite these latter qualities probably weigh too heavily in the R8, a car that reaches performance thanks to an ultra-light hull.
The market could open the R8 diesel engines from 2009. The rumor of traveling Targa model as well. Audi wants to be the pioneer, the spokesman of diesel engines in the great sport but is that the customer will follow?
