Posted Date: 12/13/05
Audi AG hopes it is once again a step ahead of the competition: Audi will become the first automaker to fight for the overall win with a diesel engine at the famous Le Mans 24 Hour race.
The new Audi R10, unveiled Dec. 13 in Paris, replaces the R8, which won the French enduro five times. The R10 is powered by a new 5.5-liter twin-turbo 12-cylinder diesel developing more than 650 hp, about 100 hp more than the R8s ran at Le Mans, says Audi.

It would be neat to see how that engine performs. How fast does it rev, and what kinda torque does she put out?
Wonder if they'll lend me one to put in my minivan? Probably twist the darn body into a pretzel.

There's guys breaking 13 seconds easily and lower with 8,000 lbs oil burning pickup trucks. !!
range,
600 - 750hp @ 1000ft - 1300 ft/lbs of torque.
The fastest pickup truck on record is a dodge with a cummins.
I think it broke 220mph, I don't remember exactly.
Done on the salt flats.
Drags:
"Richard "Mad Dog" Madsen turned in the quickest non-exhibition time of the day: an uncorrected 11.5 seconds -- faster than a McLaren F1. Applying sea-level correction, this would be a 10.877, making Madsen nose out a stock Ferrari Enzo and unmodified Saleen S7."
"Committing Blue Oval blasphemy, Mad Dog swapped a highly modified twin-turbo Cummins into his '95 F-250, retaining the E4OD trans. The truck has run a best quarter-mile of 11.24 at 120 mph."
