Audi R8 TDI V12 Concept

[KresoF1]

Damien,

Think about it as this relation Porsche 997 Turbo>Porsche 997 GT2. R8 V10 will use same side blades and marginally different side skirts then current R8, also both front and rear vent will use three big vents. So, changes will be(exterior) marginal(oh, I forget V10 signature on same place where V8 is on S5). Price wise R8 V10(yes, it is official name-you will see it pretty soon) will be around €25K more expensive in Germany then current R8.

BTW, Leadie was right(cheers man!)! Technical stuff on R8 V12 TDI is pretty amazing...

that's great information. spot on for the price increase on the V10, it seems. i think it is great the sideblades will remain the same.

would you estimate that the price increase in the US will be about 30K USD then?

over here a 997 TT costs about 120 K. the R8 costs 10K less than that. meaning the V10 would cost 20K more than the 997 TT in my estimation, the 997 being the V10's chief competitor.

I gotcha. Im still not "feeling" the spoiler, front lip and exhausts. I just don't like them. Everything else is fine. I cant wait to hear the technical specifications !!!!!!!!! I just cant wait!!!!

These items are only for the concept for a wow effect, when the car make it to production I expect almost all of these things to have changed., though the effect on the car that they give will be required as this is one seriously fast car.

I hope you are right Leadie. I hope they "tone down" the concept to have a more cohesive and agressive design without it being too overbearing. From a visual standpoint, it looks like it should be at SEMA

As stated before, I cant wait though for the full tech specs!!! This car is going to put some severe blows on it's competition.
