Little did we know that as we spent our time hanging around the Audi V12 LeMans concept at the Audi party in Manhattan last night that this particular model may never be. According to AutoBlog.nl , Audi's Martin Dick announced the V12 TDI would inspire a diesel model carrying a 382 HP 4.8-Liter TDI V8, instead. While this may help with fuel economy and price, it means prospective buyers will have roughly 118 horsepower less to play with. galleryPost('v12lemansgeneva', 6, 'Too Sexy For A V12'); Audi also apparently confirmed to them that a roadster version of the R8 was due out sometime in the future. How long it takes before it goes on sale, and where it goes on sale, is anyone's guess. AutoBlog.nl via GTSpirit ]

newVideoPlayer("AudiR8TDI_Jalopnik.flv", 463, 387,""); We can't get enough of this Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans Concept . OK, so its not quite on the track or in showrooms just yet. And yes, it's an awfully brilliant "Brilliant Red" paint job on this oil-burning torque monster . However we imagine that when it does hit the streets with all that ground-pounding torque , the world might just spin backwards. Maybe that's why it's just sitting still for now. The globe needs time to brace itself for the impact. So much for diesels being Earth-friendly.
