You aren’t misreading the title – you are seeing TDI (Turbo Diesel Injection) in the post title but before you think another foreign car manufacturer is coming up with some fancy foreign vehicle for tree huggers which looks like a box on wheels and has no poke, just feast your eyes on this:

No-one who sees this machine is going to think “green” – they are going to be thinking “WOW!”

You can’t get your hands on the Audi R8 as it is a concept car – a manufacturer and their design team pushing the boundaries of engineering, design, technology application and most of all, imagination.This really shows what can be achieved if a great manufacturer puts their collective mind to the issue – I want a green car, I really do and more than this, I want you to have one too!

How else are we going to eke out the finite natural resources available to us if we don’t take some time and energy and apply the technology to our advantage?

I do not want to be hostage to $5 a gallon gas prices; foreign oil or dirty oil companies forgetting who made them rich – I want good, clean air with a product which gives me a great deal of pride and satisfaction and that doesn’t mean it has to be a Prius! I want to look cool no matter what the energy powering the vehicle is and this is where Audi have hit the nail on the head.

Being green is not for nerds – it’s for all of us and developing green technology and green automobiles is the way jobs are going to be created in the future, it’s way to get our economy back on track and it’s a way for the country as a whole to benefit from.

My question is – Audi is a German company -why hasn’t an American company come up with a concept green car that looks half as good as this or do they want all those green car making jobs to be based somewhere else other than here in the US of A!
