This is the Audi promotional video for the Le Mans-winning V12 turbodiesel car that first raced in 2006. It is the successor to the R8 (after which the road car is named), which has been one of the most successful sports prototypes ever built.
The R8 had a direct-injection gasoline V8 (which I believe is now being supplied to other chassis builders), the R10 is fitted with a 5.5l turbocharged diesel.
If you get a chance to see it race you should! It's quite the most amazing thing - as with the R8, it's unbelievably quiet.
It all depends on how detailed you want to be in your analysis. For instance, the engine is not F1 legal, the bodywork is not F1 legal, the weight is much too high.
However they both use similar suspension arragements, they are both mid-engined RWD layout and open-cockpit, make use of similar aerodynamic solutions at the front and rear of the car etc.
Turbocharged or supercharged petrol engines are only allowed to have a maximum displacement of 4000cc.
Diesels are allowed to have 5500cc.
And that's all to be said here. If diesels are soooo good, let's race the R10 TDI limited to 4000cc with its petrol rivals and we'll soon reveal the true "TDI Power" :-]
Or TDI Weakass :-]
In endurance racing its the number of laps you clock in rather than position that matters. So that means the Diesels can stay out longer and put in more laps than the thirsty petrols.
Furthermore its predecessor the R8 was already a petrol driven LeMans dominator.

The choices left are Eva, Noah, and Katie.
In the low revs there's grunt like in a big naturally aspirated engine (because of the supercharger) so everyday driving a manual car is very comfortable.
High rev end is like in a Civic Type R, lots of revs, lots of power, great noise.
Fuel consumption fairly low due to small cubic capacity and limited suction losses.
How can anyone want a diesel clatterbox now?
