Audi enjoyed its customary high profile at the Detroit Motor Show in January. We unveiled an engine that sets new standards in the diesel sector, in the guise of the V12 TDI. 500 bhp output, 1,000 Nm torque and a displacement of six litres.
This engine propels the Audi Q7 from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.5 seconds. Its fuel consumption of 11.9 litres per 100 km is very low, considering its immense power output. This shows that we have the technological leadership and innovative ability to combine lower power outputs with even better fuel economy. The launch of the Audi Q7 V12 TDI was a huge success �" partly thanks to the appearance of the pop singer Seal. I got to know Seal in person and soon realised that he is precisely the right ambassador for our brand. We are consequently planning several other activities this year for you to enjoy. The launch of the V12 TDI is part of our broad-based diesel initiative in the US market. Outstanding Torque for the Top ClassAudi R8 V12 TDI concept Audi is presenting a revolution in the top class at the Detroit Auto Show 2008 �" the first 12-cylinder diesel engine in a high-performance roadgoing sports car. The V12 TDI with a displacement of six liters powers a concept car based on the Audi R8. This unit generates a huge 500 hp and 1,000 Newton-meters (737.56 lb-ft) of torque. Audi is writing a new chapter in diesel technology with this power unit. Equipped with the expertise that Audi has built up through its motor sport activities, the R8 V12 TDI in matt "Grace Silver" embodies superb road handling, pioneering technology and fascinating design. The V12 TDI is closely related to the engine in the Audi R10, the two-time Le Mans winner so it catapults the Audi R8 into supercar terrain concerning performance too. It sprints from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in just 4.2 seconds and its top speed is well over 300 km/h (186.41 mph). The peak torque, reached at only 1,750 rpm, paves the way for effortless acceleration that is unrivaled even at this level. The new V12 TDI belongs to Audi's family of V engines but has the ideal included angle for this engine type of 60 degrees between cylinder banks. Its highlights include the new chain drive layout that includes the two newly developed high-pressure pumps for the common rail injection system.Its sound is as thrilling as you'd expect in a sports car of this caliber. For all the subtle smoothness that typifies this design principle, the twelve-cylinder unit is full-bodied and equipped with energetic overtones that make no secret of its performance potential.For more details & pictures Click Here!
