More Diesel R8 Details
Posted 19th June, 2007 in Audi | 1 Comment
Auto Express has released more details of the forthcoming oil-burning Audi R8.
Apparently, the diesel version will be made available towards the end of next year, following the arrival of a mighty V10 powered model. The 4.2L TDI will be lifted from the company’s Q7 SUV, but we can expect it to be tweaked a little, taking power from 322bhp up to around 350bhp. The sprint to 60mph should be in the region of 5 seconds, while a 160mph top speed seems very realistic.
The 5.0L V10 model should be with us by early 2008, priced around £85,000. The diesel version should cost about £70,000.

It’s great that they have a diesel version of the car. Some are probably willing to get the diesel version.
