Audi R8 V12 TDI Production Model Development Halted
May 8, 2009
It seems that most guys here are from the US.. So I live in Germany and almost the half of all cars are diesels. Every outside salesman drives a diesel because it?s quiet, very powerful and very efficient.
That a diesel is noisy - it?s a tale from the past (GM diesels from the 70?s).
Have you ever driven a modern european diesel?
It?s much more quiet than a powerful petrol engine as you can see on youtube if you search for "R10 TDI sound".
For US-drivers, the diesel is much better than any asian hybrid:
I drive an Seat Ibiza TDI with a 110hp Audi-engine and the consumption is:
Highway
50mph - 98 mpg, 75mph - 85mpg, 110mph - 34mpg, 130mph - 23mpg
City
40mpg
Even if you can believe it, these are true and realistic values..
