I've heard it's going to be a V12 oil burner.

I bet it will be a open pedal driven go kart to win the 24 Minutes du Mans.

My thoughts are diesel.I think the technology is there,and Audi would be just
the manufacturer to do it.

So it's a V12 diesel then. The car looks 'similar' to the R8 though.

Its an R8 with black smoke, and a cabmeter

Diesel's got to work. White vans are the fastest things on the road so it all makes sense

Okay, the news is out, so I've locked the poll. Most got it right with the open LMP Diesel, lets smell it in June

Just took a look at it, hardly thrill a minute stuff. Looks like a cleaned-up R8 with a sophisticated truck engine. Maybe interesting from a technical standpoint for the Audi engineers but I doubt it's going to make anyone giddy with delight when it drones into view.

Are you being rude about my friends and the old Bentleys?

Let's not forget the Chrysler Viper engine started life as a truck lump. Grrrr

Hi Lorry,
