Audis V6-Powered LMP1 Coupe

For the upcoming 2011 season Audi have prepared the R18: an all-new LMP1 coupe with a diesel V6 engine.

Beaten by Peugeot this year, Audi have probably spared little expense to win the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans and beat Ferraris score of nine overall victories.

Audi failed to mention the electronics system in their 2011 contender which for the first time could include energy recovery as part of the ACO’s continued focus on the environment.
