Audi has replaced the R8 with the R10. The engine is a turbocharged 5.5 liter V12 diesel. The aero treatment looks pretty interesting. It's probably going to make life tough for the competition, just like the R8 did. Sebring anyone? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Diesel's come on to full power (torque) pretty quick and at lower rpm's.. It would take some definite thought to transmit that power to the wheels. Kinda like coupling a porsche engine at the the peak of the power curve (screaming) to the wheels. Possibly an automatic tranny that allows slippage to counter the rapid torque.
