To bad Diesel is so expensive. I guess if you got the clams to shell out for that, your gas bill won't be a problem. I'm curious towhat it sounds like. Does it sound like a Mack truck lol?

audis run on straight vegetable oil from the out, this, although extremely expensive, is the future of transport, collectors take note.
run it on B99 biofuel with a custom map and you'll churn the tarmac.
I have a B5 S4, banging out 520BHP, I can see this doing 800/1000BHP with a small cash investment.

Sweet ride, I LOVE my Audi.
AND WHERE DID THE R8 GET IT START?
from the R10 simply a work of art. 5.5L V12 twin turbo diesil engine bent at a 90* compleately redesigned from the ground up by the audi company. it wone 1 first place in the Le mans in 2006 and it was the first time a purpose built diesel engin had been built. while there was no limit to the engine that could be used in the le mans no one had simply done it before. 650BHP and 800 ft/lbs of torque with an incrediable 5000 RPM redline. that is where the R8 got its start.

and i thought audi was about dead. 186 is nothing RUF's have been 200+ on the 'bhan for decades, although not on bio. im planing on getting my car converted to ethanol if it becomes available in my area.
once they quit using corn and convert to switchgrass/hemp they'll get more fuel per acre, and the food prices wont go up aswell.
although very cramped inside the S4Turbo i drove was decent.

Those crazy germans!...The R8 is a sick car and audi has some of the best engineers working for them you can tell ALOT of R&D went into the engine alone..Btw I gotta '06 S4 too,I can honestly say its the best car ive ever owned..couple of mods..APR ecu chip and exhaust + cold air intake (358 BHP) and I plan on putting a new intercooler on it soon

In many countries diesel fuel is much cheaper than petrol (gas)........a diesel engine lasts longer (lower revs).......and they generally have more torque than gas powered engines with a similar cubic capacity.......so are deemed to be much more economical.....

my bad
thought that beast was bio...
it was bently's outline for ethanol i was confused with. makes sence ethanol is almost direct replacement for gas, and with 99% of the time it has 50-100+ hp increase, while decreasing emissions.
props to audi on a diesel racer... although in my area diesel is $4.50+gal vs 3.95 for premium... this is the cheap stations. if you want chevron its 4.75d/4.25p + what a rip.

RUF are petrol....
this will tune up to a top speed of well over 200mph
Think yourself lucky for your prices, until diesel became popular in UK it was always cheaper than petrol, as it should be, it is cheaper to refine from crude.
now in the UK it is 10p litre more expensive....converting to US petrol is $9 gallon and diesel almost $10 per gallon.
Diesel's around €1,33 at the mo, regular gas being at €1,42.........and remember that's per liter not gallon

ive always wondered why europeans are so content with thoes prices.
if i woke up one day and say 9$ on the pump i would also see riots and mass-chaos.
Diesel is cheaper than petrol in most all European countries and in Asia....
