How does a twin turbo V12 engine sounds with 500 BHP on tap and a massive 737 lb-ft of torque? I know you feel short of adjectives but what if I tell you that these figures are from a Diesel engine!

Welcome to the world’s most powerful production diesel engine in a road going car. Audi showed its R8 Concept car with tamed version of the famous, Le mans winning R10 race car’s powerplant. This 6 Litre engine is just incredible, making 500 BHP and 737 lb-ft torque which is available at just 1750 rpm!  If this hasnt made your jaw drop, this massive engine meets the strict California pollution standards while also delivering 24 miles to a gallon! It dismisses the 0-100 kph sprint in a pulverizing 4.2 seconds with a top speed of more than 186 miles per hour!

Its a remarkable engineering achievement and we hope the car makes it into production.
