The Audi R8 has been one of the most sough-after supercars on the planet to day so you can say that the when the its time ends, the pressure is on Audi to have something that can exceed the R8’s successful run.

23-year old industrial design student Marouane Bembli recently released his own take on what Audi’s next supercar will invariably look like.

At first glance, Bembli’s take on the R10 looks like a sure winner. It doesn’t take away too much from the styling elements of the R8 with the exception of a wider and more curvaceous body. If there’s one thing that caught our attention, we felt that those doors could’ve been made a little bigger, but that’s just nit-picking on our part.

Overall, Bembli’s work is something we feel Audi should take a look at. He even outfitted it with a mid-mounted V10 engine with a dry weight of just over 1200 kilos.

We’re pretty impressed, to say the least.

At the 2008 Le Mans 24 Hours on 14/15 June, the three Audi R10 TDI prototypes entered by Audi Sport Team Joest will race for the first time with the next generation of Biofuel manufactured from Biowaste and promising a reduction in the emission of CO2 by almost 90 per cent when compared with traditional diesel.
 

Audi fields the 650-hp plus R10 TDI, which has already won the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in sportscar races since 2006. Shell V-Power Diesel race fuel produced by development partner Shell has been used since the very beginning. It’s a particularly powerful and efficient synthetic fuel which is created from Natural Gas in a process called Gas To Liquids (GTL). Fuels with these components are already available at the pumps.
 
For the third appearance of the Audi R10 TDI at Le Mans, a small amount of Biofuel of the next generation is mixed for the first time with the previously well-proven GTL components: BTL (Biomass To Liquids), as it is officially called, is extracted from Biowaste that is unfit for use in foodstuffs, for example from waste wood. BTL promises a reduction in the amount of CO2 emission by almost 90 per cent compared to traditional diesel.
