Audi has produced what many will see as the first realistic attempt at a diesel supercar. Just one vehicle has been made so far and the Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans attracted offers of up to £3.5 million when displayed at the Detroit motorshow. Operating through a 6.0 litre V12 Diesel engine the R8 is alleged to be capable of 200mph whilst returning 25mpg! Audi are planning to put the car into production soon after claiming they think there is room for V12 diesel in the supercar market.
