The Audi R10 TDI with the R8 TDI Le Mans prototype it inspired…
Audi claims this twin-turbocharged, 6.0-liter  V-12 TDI (turbodiesel, direct-injected) machine produces a full 500 bhp  and over 737 lb.-ft. of torque — the latter figure accomplished at a  stunningly low 1750 rpm and maintained all the way up to 3000 rpm  (redline is 4500) — that allow the R8 to sprint from a standstill to 60  mph in just over 4 seconds and on to a top speed of more than 186 mph.
While the race car’s 12 cylinders are placed at a 90-degree V-angle, the  road car’s are situated at 60 degrees for less vibration. This  configuration allows for an extremely compact engine — at 29.6 in.  overall, it is only about 6.5 in. longer than the V-8 in the  gasoline-powered Audi R8.
