AUDI R8 TDI LE MANS

Even though we were so limited in what we could do, those first several seconds up to our speed-nanny were enlightening. First gear is almost always unnecessary. This is what twin-turbo V-12 diesels get you, and all while recording per-gallon average distances of up to 29 miles.

What cannot be denied, gawk surveys aside, is that the U.S. is a V-8-enthusiast hotbed, and the 6.2-liter V-8 has been a huge success for every AMG model wrapped around it.

2008 AUTO SHOW SCENE

 

Geneva’s international auto show is a favorite of many automotive journalists. Many of the small European coachbuilders are represented, and they add a lot to the atmosphere. Geneva is also a strange mix of environmentalist flag-waving and high-performance excitement. Where else will you hear Lamborghini bragging about reduced CO2 emissions and increased horsepower at the same time?

The bright lights and manic pace of Gotham dovetailed nicely with an auto show memorable for its spectacular concepts and dramatic debuts. General Motors may have led the way for production vehicles with its Pontiac launches, but it was Saleen’s Raptor Concept that stole the show.
