So, is that the production version? Base car is MUCH prettier. That thing is way overdone. Also, although I have no experience with diesels, I am skeptical that diesels can be "fun" motors (low revs), regardless of how much torque they have. But, I could be full of shit.

If it was available and priced within my budget, I'd be all over it!

That front bumped exemplifies ugly, I saw those kind of LED front lighting on an Audi the other week and thought it also looked horrible. Give me old school projection HID

I generally like the color of the car and the "blades" on the side, but if they had just gone with a better wheel design, not flared the "blade" openings, and left the wing and sill off, I'd have been fine with the front. As it is Audi has managed to start treading into exotic aftermarket rice, something they heretofore have done a stellar job of avoiding. It's a shame they didn't do a better job on this, their new crown jewel.

I believe it's called 90 degrees....

I've been a big fan of the R8 for a long time, but I still think those LED lights are fugly.

almost all the TDI dynos i see (google image search) peak very early and slowly decline, but HP increases with RPMs.





and bmw's "2.0-liter, variable twin turbo diesel engine"
