Could the next RS4 be a diesel ?

This is the diesel powered Audi R10

Sorry, my mistake, wrong forum.

No worries mate, it just seemed more sensible here.

That is some engine in the R10. All alloy (in a Diesel :-O ) V12 650bhp and 818ft lbs torque. Imagine that.

Looks like it will be good for 2 extra laps between re-fuels as well (although Audi are only saying one so far as I can tell).

Interesting sound it makes too whatever next?

At 1,100Nm of torque, it isn't far short of the Bugatti Veyron (1,250Nm)
It would be interesting to know how much it weighs.
