Nick_p Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Love the look of the Audi R8,but diesel belongs in Tractors and Lorrys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ive done an Advanced diesel engine course with Peugeot and am very aware of how good diesel can be.But the thing with a sports car as well as looks, it has so sound amazing, thats why i think its a bit pointless putting a diesel in one.while diesel doesnt sound bad now, it doesnt really sound of anything kind of looses its appeal for me really If had to chose between a petrol R8 or diesel R8 what would it be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
