Audi presented a new r8 concept at the Geneva Motor Show 2008 based on the Audi R8. The Audi R8 TDI Le Mans which is the first 12-cylinder diesel engine in a high-performance roadgoing sports car .the Audi R8 TDI is powered by a 6 liter 12 cylinder diesel engine, enough for 500hp and 1.000 Nm of torque. Sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and the topspeed exceeds 300 km/h. The V12 TDI in the R8 Le Mans concept is closely related to the V12 TDI that can be found in the two-time Le Mans winner, the Audi R10. Peak torque is reached at only 1.750 rpm which should enable effortless acceleration.
The R8 TDI Le Mans is painted in Brilliant Red color and looks even wider and more resolute than the core model. It features muscular proportions, accentuated wheel arches and even larger air apertures. Typical of the side view of the R8 is the sideblade. Much wider in the bottom third, it visually accentuates the engine’s position as well as acting as an enlarged air deflector.
The continuous aluminum spoiler lip that connects the front and rear diffusers with side air baffles below the enlarged sills also pays tribute to this version’s highly developed dynamic talents.
The interior’s design is as sporty and exclusive as the exterior: the characteristic element here is the monoposto – an expansive arc running around the steering wheel and instruments, connecting the driver to the car. The interior consequently picks up on the dynamism of the R8 TDI Le Mans and gives it tactile expression in a form that is accessible the moment you climb in.
