In case you guys couldn't guess, it will reportedly use the 4.2TDI from the A8 and Q7! Only 326hp... but 561lb ft of torque!
EGM says it'll get about 30MPG, which I agree with (it weighs much less than the A8 TDI, which gets about 25-30MPG), but I think their 5 sec time for 0-60 is conservative. Look for the 4.5-4.8 second range.
NOW I REALLY WANT ONE!!!!!!!!

If it's not more than the current R8, I want one, too.

Sounds great... speaking of "sound", I wonder what the exhaust note will sound like? Hopefully it can retain most of the character of the petrol version
