can you say 6L twin turbo diesel V12? how's 500hp sound? how about 738lbs of torque at only 1750rpm at 2.6 bar of boost??? on top of that europe tier6 emissions compliant??????????? i'll take one thank you very much:

impressive !!

 

meh, i have better.....






ok....im just kidding. that **** RAPES ME!!! i want one!!!!

 

About time.


Though I doubt it will get "good" fuel mileage. Not with 500 HP. I sincerely hope they bring this here and it gains traction. A TDI A3 would find a place in my garage.

 

i wonder if home made biodiesel fuel would work with it.

 

its going to be expensive for sure...

 

It would have significantly less power, but in general yes it should work. Not sure if there's room for the auxiliary equipment needed, though.

 

This car is just total hotness. Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one.

 

Loving it <3

 

Ya gotta figure a 4.2 (420bhp) R8 turns faster laps than a GT3

Imagine what they do to support that power

 

The front is stunning, brings us that much closer to a Le Mans car too.

 

It's good to see manufacturers using already developed technology like forced induction and diesel to make big power in a good looking sports car. I'm not a fan of the hybrid battery stop gap bs.

 

Depending on the blend you use, e.g. B10 (10% Biodiesel 90% Petrol Diesel) or B20 (20% Biodiesel and 80% Biodiesel) you can have almost the same performance. Anything higher will actually reduce the performance, but will be much greener. Also keep in mind even a small amount of increase in biodiesel can increase the overall lubricity properties dramatically. The higher the volume of biodiesel the more lubricity.

Biodiesel is awesome.

Make sure you make some good quality biodiesel.

WestSideBilly, you dont any equipment in the car. You would only need some equipment if you were running straight vegetable oil. For example, you would need a heater to warm up the vegetable oil and a filter to remove all the debris in the veggie oil.

 

picture black on black wheels...

 

Damn thats just sexy. I want one
