Audi let us drive its ground-skimming $3 million R8 TDI Le Mans concept car in Manhattan during the New York Auto Show. The main difference between the R8 TDI Le Mans concept and the standard R8 is its V12 diesel engine in place of the regular V8. There's only one of these experimental vehicles in the world, so it was our responsibility not to turn that number into zero by getting into a head-on collision with a cab or hitting one of Manhattan's Grand-Canyon-sized potholes. As it turns out, both we and the R8 TDI Le Mans survived the experience, and the nervous Audi engineer riding shotgun even cracked a few smiles. Read our full test drive of the Audi R8 TDI Le Mans here. And check out a slideshow featuring New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady warming up the seat for us the night before we drove it. Thanks, Tom!
