Pete Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Nice. That's one way around the tightening emission laws. Oddly I found the R8 looked better in the photographs than in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I saw an R8 on the A27 not so long ago, and I must admit it did look good. That huge V12, and all that torque, but similar power spec. to our lowly Supras: "While the R8 V12 TDI storms to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and maxes out at 186mph, it also manages to get 23 MPG." Considering how expensive diesel fuel is becoming, I think I'll keep my car for now then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
