Looks like the R8 will be getting turbodiesel power and AWD.

Wasn't someone asking about a combination like this recently?

In the Audi Q7, this engine is good for 500 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque

Well then... That thing is going to launch like a raped ape!

Audis and Volvos faster than I...

My dad would love it.

Will the ads highlight its towing power?

[Chris GTO TT]

Why, I believe that was Synchro who made the inquiry. 738 lb-ft and AWD? He is going to shit himself when he sees this.



Speaking of which, I need to go change my underwear now.

Turbo diesels always have insane torque.

Believe me when I say that I'd love to see and drive one of these, but let's be honest - this thing isn't going to be within my price range...ever.

Gotta say though, that this is probably the only Volkswagen (besides the Veyron) I wouldn't kick out of my driveway.
