Audi R8 V12 TDI Concept: Stud

Super cars often have racecar credentials, such as style, suspension, technology or, most importantly, the engine. So if you’re Audi, still riding high on the introduction of your V-8 powered R8 exotic sports car, what do you do for an encore? How about stuffing your monstrous racecar-derived 6.0-liter V-12 diesel under the clear engine cover? With 500 horsepower and an amazing 738 lb.-ft. of torque, it has the potential to catapult the R8 from mere exotic to timeless legend.
