The V12 TDI marks yet another milestone in diesel technology. The German luxury brand has been experimenting with diesel engines for decades.
Audi R8 V12 TDI concept can already fulfill the Euro 6 (likely to come into effect from 2014) emissions standard while most supercars struggle to meet Euro 5.
With 373kW and 1,000 Nm of torque this supercar goes from 0-100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds.
The car has a curved arc roof with glass panels, front facia, rear spoiler, and wide sideblade. All-LED headlamps and taillamps give the concept car an unmistakable appearance.
The transmission in the R8 V12 TDI has six manually operated gears.
The entire bodyshell of the study car weighs just 210 kilograms or 462.97 lbs.
The interior's design is as sporty and exclusive as the exterior.
Since the car is yet to hit the markets, no price range was available.
