I've heard it's going to be a V12 oil burner.

I bet it will be a open pedal driven go kart to win the 24 Minutes du Mans.  Grin

So it's a V12 diesel then.  The car looks 'similar' to the R8 though.

Its an R8 with black smoke, and a cabmeter

Diesel's got to work.  White vans are the fastest things on the road so it all makes sense

Just took a look at it, hardly thrill a minute stuff.  Looks like a cleaned-up R8 with a sophisticated truck engine.  Maybe interesting from a technical standpoint for the Audi engineers but I doubt it's going to make anyone giddy with delight when it drones into view.
