2017 Audi RS5 TDI Diesel Prototype

[big reg]

For all you diesel fans, Audi has stepped up again in the diesel world. They are already pioneers in the racing world with their TDI Lemans cars. This a prototype twin turbo V6 diesel with an electric supercharger. For those to lazy to read the link it makes 385hp @ 4200rpm and 553lb of torque from 1250-2000 rpm. Redline is a surprising for a diesel 5500rpm. 174mph top speed.

I'm beyond excited for this car. I'm really hoping it finally leads to the TDI R8.

While an r8 tdi would be awesome I'd like to see bmw's triturbo motor in something over here.

Here's an epic fail moment. Heard the news about the 4-series diesel and went to a BMW dealer to get more information about them, just to leave in sadness that the diesel 4-series is a Euro only car.
