Striking red Audi R8 Concept debuts in Geneva
Audi has taken the wraps off its second R8 concept vehicle powered by its mighty V12 TDI engine at an event in Geneva today. The new concept sports the now familiar 6.0L V12 turbodiesel engine, developing a healthy 500hp and 1,000Nm (737lb-ft) of torque. Like the previous V12 diesel R8 shown in Detroit last month, the new model packs the latest in racing technology developed in Audi’s Le Mans efforts, and is differed thanks to its bright red paint scheme.

The V12 TDI is closely related to the engine in the Audi R10, the two-time Le Mans winner, and in the R8 it sees the supercar launch from 0-100km/h in just 4.2 seconds and enables a top speed of well over 300km/h. Read Article

They should call it the R12. If you buy this gem you wouldn't want some joker with the V8 to have the same badge!

Audi is tearing things up with its Diesel cars. BMW can't even come close to matching the performance of the R8 V12 TDI with its diesels
