S3_Scot Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Does anyone have a clip of an audi v12tdi driving (with sound)? I have looked on utube but only press videos, or v8tdis to be found Is this engine out in the Q7 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byron13 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 what capacity is it ?? same petrol v12 would kill it unless you were endurance racing and fuel stops were part of the game. You don't spend £100k on a sports car and then decide it's a bit thirsty !!!! wish I had got the 28mpg one !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 6 litres I think. Obviously in endurance racing fuel economy IS part of the game. Hoever the V12 diesel R10 racer is quicker than the V10 petrol R8 it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] True, to a degree. How much of a degree we may find out this year with some technical rule changes intended to offset the advantage they gave the diesel.

Insurance Jon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 just a little point, although it's just a concept, uk orderering started yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFour Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Actually looks good. Has more of a super car look than the R8. By that I mean its a bit mad, left field and chunky. It has a much better arse as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woppum Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] looks really good and chunky. 4500rpm though in a sports car is simply laughable though... [/ QUOTE ] Funny that, cos I could have sworn the R10 has won the most gruelling sports car challenge the past few years. I do very much like the idea of a car that is the closest we're likely to get to a road going R10. However, apart from the obvious straight line performance, I'm yet to be convinced it'll be as good a car as its V8 petrol sibling. It has a very high bar to try and reach. [/ QUOTE ] The R10 is an awssome tool, but ask the driver if it is as fun as the competition. 4500rpm... the new M3 gets to 8500. As said whats the point? I dont get it so enlighten me???

Chav Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think the 3.0 sooty A4 is more fun than the S4 because of the way the sooty turbo delivers the power - I love the huge shove into the back of the seat, the instant response if you hold the revs at 3.5K+. The push into the back of the seat from 1000Nm (stock) will be simply awesome. The new M3 will feel dull as dishwater in comparison. Big petrol engines are very linear with their power delivery - end result = it doesn't FEEL as fast. With more and more cameras, speed kills campaigns and busier roads, the way a car FEELS as it accelerates is getting more important as you have to drive slower typically!

The Sl65 had 1000nm of torque, yes it was very fast but also dull as dishwater when compared to the CSL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see the point of a super fast supercar that only revs to 4.5rpm that will also sound poor compared to its competition. The only thing going for it will be how fast it will be. If thats what rocks your boat so be it but i think i'll take a 430,RS or even the standard R8 anytime of the day , even if they're slower !

Chav Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 but it'll feel faster than the V8 because of the turbo lag and non-linear power curve. so will probably be more fun. I find the 3.0tdi more fun than the V8 S4.... the B5 S4 was far more fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sc00t Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Take a 997 GT3/RS for a test drive and then come back and say you want the diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
