The Audi R8 V12 TDI concept made its debut in Detroit to extremely favorable reviews. With its mid-mounted 500 horse, 738 lb-ft twelve-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine based directly on the motor found in Audi's Le Mans winning R10 race cars, the concept drew a straight line from the race track to the road and left enthusiasts begging for a production version to put in their garages. We can't see a whole lot of changes between the silver car shown in Detroit and this red and black Le Mans tribute version at Geneva, save for the color change and some chrome accents. Nevertheless, as a halo car for Audi and as a way of making the connection between the automaker's epic race success and its road cars, Audi would be foolish not to churn out at least a limited number of R8 V12 TDIs for public consumption. Oh, and it's Euro 6 compliant too. Green and fast -- we like.
