Audi to offer RS8 with R10's diesel V12?
Audi may be planning to build a high-performance version of its A8 luxury sedan with a powerful TDI diesel motor, according to a report in Blogo.it's automotive section. According to the Italian website, the car — called RS8 — will use the same TDI engine as the highly successful Audi R10 TDI race car. Output may be slightly detuned from the R10's 650 horsepower. Further details were not available.

that would be pretty insane!!!
insanely good that is
hehe
i would be interested to see what sort of fuel economy will come from this monster on the RS8
i have a feeling that RS8 will be a hell of a car with such high torque and HP AND fuel economy
the problem is will the diesel engine pass the emission test for the 5 key states?
and maybe canada?
