Andrea,
There will not be a diesel engine in R8. Audi will introduce new V12 TDI very soon for A8. But, this engine is too big(and heavy!) for R8. Also very high torque of V12 TDI will also demand automatic gearbox...

Dan,
I really do not know... Audi has currently very nice 4.2L V8 TDI in A8(in Europe at least!), 326hp/650Nm, 0-100km/h: 5.9s...
New V12 TDI will be even more powerfull. You need to check with Audi USA if they are planning to introduce diesel versions of A8 to USA market.

Kreso, V12 TDI? Is it going to be more powerful than the S8?

It is really ugly. Anyone who decide to buy a sport-car definitaley choose a porsche 997 S. Think it will same price with 997 S. That car will not sell so much and will burn in history without a flashback. Nobody wants to buy a Porsche priced Audi. Because it is Audi. (Family Car)

In the near future we will see Diesel-powered-luxury-sedans with 700 hp and 1000 Nm torque. Even a LP640 or a 599 will look bland in comparision (I mean the numbers only).
I really don't know, if I like this development...

It looks terrible IMHO. The glass back slopes down way too far and the greenhouse is too large.

Note the similar looking " lightly camo'd " R8 with distributor plates wide open in California parking lot on the other thread. Internet " guerilla " marketing , they are all doing it.

The rear glass looks conventional .It looks low because the rear deck is camo'd by being painted black .
