Last week, we covered one artist’s conception of the R8’s replacement, which he called the R10 Concept (seen above.) Today we heard news of rumors flying around about some of the R8 successor’s specs.
670 whp on 93 octane with 200-cell catalytic converters in place, and a super-smooth curve that gives the car a "Jekyll and Hyde" duality of smooth cruising and easy driving around-town, followed up by Veyron-baiting performance when the nanny-controls are off and the pedals hit the metals.
Well just when we thought the entertaining Bow Wow vs Soulja Boy Lamborghini Show couldn’t get any more ridiculous, we find this video of 19 year old singer/rapper Sean Kingston (Kisean Anderson) who has challenged BOW WOW to race for pink slips!

Audi engineers have now officially confirmed the fact that the TT will get an TDI engine. Due to a sticker on the central console with the inscription Achtung diesel-Fzg (Attention diesel version). Now it is clear that Audi will get the 2.0 liter TDI engine delivering 170 bhp from the Passat and the Audi A4 but it could also get the 235 bhp 3.0 liter that is currently used by the new A5 coupe.
Due to high demand in the US for smaller and more fuel efficient engines, Audi says they will be dropping the 3.2-liter V6 from the A3, A4, and TT for the 2010 model year in the States. I happen to like this smooth engine quite a bit, but the numbers show that it might not be worth it. The 2.0T engine offered in the A4 makes only 54 horsepower less power, and gets
From the rumor mill comes a report that Audi will be creating a special edition TT called the Audi TT Forza Motorsport Edition based on the Forza video game series.

Caractere Audi TT R:
Audi’s are the favorite cars of the Caractere company. It’s clearly visible that they love playing with these darlings. We used to see many variations of plastics from this company, but today’s one is unique. And if Caractere calls another company to help, something big is going on.

MTM, Motoren-Technik-Mayer, always impress us with the power of their modified models. After they had a little "fun" with the new Audi TT they came up with a 421 hp beast, the MTM Audi TT RTT 400 RS.
