If Audi's not careful, they could become the poster company for conspicuous consumption, automaker style.
First they bring out the R8, with its 4.8-liter V-8, then the next thing you know there's talk of a 5.0-liter...and now, straight from the Detroit Auto Show, there's bluster about a V12 TDI.
Really. At some point you have to stop, even if you can keep going. Only problem is that this particular concept is quite a bit more than a good idea, and delivers all the power of a rocket ship with plus-20 mpg.
Audi reps said quite a bit about their diesel technology, but to be honest my eyes glazed over. All they really had to say was "500 horsepower and 737 lb.-ft. of torque" followed by "R8."
