Rather, one earlier rumor in the press is one that seems to make more sense. Several months ago, it was reported that a Gallardo had been spied testing in Sant Agata Bolognese, sounding not so much like a Gallardo and more like a diesel. Considering the public relations wake left behind the new R10 racecar, market conditions couldn’t be better for Audi to build such a car. Whether or not they choose to act on that remains to be seen.

If they are considering diesel, then a quick look at current engine choices also makes things interesting. Theoretically, the common rail 4.2 V8 TDI from the A8 could fit, as could the V10 from the Volkswagen Touareg, though the latter isn’t yet developed with common rail design – technology Audi says all of their TDIs will now adopt.

More interesting is a potential V12. It’s been said that Audi had several engine choices that it could have developed for the R10 - from V8 and V10 to V12. The company chose to go with V12, and its reasons for doing so aren’t as clear. Could this have been done to segway to a new top-of-the-line V12 TDI engine bound for production cars like the A8 and possibly the R8? While the theory is pure conjecture and not based on any internal source, the idea of such a car is certainly interesting to imagine.

Osnovna verzija bo imela 4.2-litrski V8 motor s suhim karterjem, ki bo razvil 420 KM. Pospeševal bo hitreje kot Porschejeva Carrera S X51 (s 381 KM), kar pomweni čas do 200 km/h v okviru 14 sekund. Polno opremljen, po možnosti s keramičnimi zavorami, bo v Nemčiji stal ca. 95.000 EUR.
Močnejša verzija bo imela Gallardov V10 motor prostornine 5.2 litra, z močjo 520 KM (Gallardo za modelsko leto 2008 dobi verzijo z neposrednim vbrizgom goriva in 550 KM).
Na voljo bosta ročni in sekvenčni menjalnik (ne DSG, temveč verzija, bolj podobna Lamborghinijevemu E-gearu). Ne gre pozabiti še na zvočni sistem proizvajalca Bang and Olufssen, ki bo verjetno najbolj kvaliteten avtomobilski sistem do sedaj. Imel sem si priložnost ogledati nekaj slik zunanjosti in notranjosti in povem lahko samo to, da je avtomobil izjemno kvalitetno zasnovan in izdelan. Notranjost je sploh nekaj posebnega. Imel bo tudi "adaptive suspension" sistem, ga pa bo moč naročiti tudi z eno od treh nastavitev: navadna - cestna uporaba, mešana - cestna in dirkališčna uporaba in športna - v glavnem za uporabo na dirkališču, bo pa vseeno normalno vozen po cestah.
Naj povem še, da ima Audi izdelan prototip s prisilno polnjenim desetvaljnikom (prek 600 KM), katerega usoda pa žal leži v rokah tržnega oddelka.
Vozilo z ročnim menjalnikom in opremljeno z gumami Pirelli P-Zero Corsa, je doseglo na Nordschleifu enak čas kot Gallardo. Čas je dosegel Sport Auto, v svojem Supertestu, ki ga boste lahko brali naslednji mesec.
