The all-new Audi R10 is powered by a totally new 5.5-litre, twelve-cylinder bi-turbo TDI engine, which is extremely quiet and economical.
The Le Mans Prototype, with over 650 hp and more than 1100 Newton metres torque, significantly exceeds the power produced by the majority of previous Audi racing cars – including that of its victorious R8 predecessor. Audi ventures into previously unexplored diesel-engine terrain with the V12 power plant manufactured completely from aluminium. As with the TFSI technology, which triumphed initially at Le Mans before being adopted for mass-production, Audi customers should benefit once again from the lessons learnt in motorsport.
be interesting to see where they go with this tech in road cars. the V10TDI was wasted in the VW Toureg and a few of the Phaetons. love to see a high performance version.
"According to British magazine Autocar, Lamborghini is currently testing the Gallardo with Volkswagens 5.0 liter V10 turbodiesel as seen in the new Touareg V10 TDi and Phaeton V10 TDi."
