<i>If Audi decides to capitalize on the success of the diesel-powered R10 in the ALMS and at LeMans by putting the V12 TDi into the R8 sports car, a better business case could certainly be made for producing the engine if they could also install it in other vehicles like the Q7 and A8.</i>

All I can say is: pleasepleasepleaseplease do it!<ul><li><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/01/audi-q7-v12-tdi-coming-to-america-maybe/">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/01/audi-q7-v12-tdi-coming-to-america-maybe/</a</li></ul>

unfortunatley its already stated in one of the links on the news board/mainpage that there will be no V12 TDI for the R8 as the engine is too heavy for the R8 a smaller engine is still possible tho
