A new era of racing at Le Mans is upon us and Audi is leading the field once again through new technology in the form of the Audi R18 e-tron quattro.

Audi has won races around the world utilizing groundbreaking technologies such as quattro, turbocharged direct injection (TFSI) and turbo diesel (TDI) engines. Each of these found their way into very successful production vehicles such as the original quattro, the iconic Audi R8 and everything from an A3 to an Q7 TDI.

Now it is time for a new era of racing technology through the R18 e-tron quattro which uses brake regeneration to power the front wheels while the V6 TDI engine powers the rear.

Watch the Audi Sport team explain the philosophy of developing technologies for the track that then find their way to the streets in this video.

Here you are just a short video about the 2013 Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro, fitted with the bodywork they’ll use for the next 24 hours of Le Mans («long-tail» version), making some very fast fly bys at Monza Circuit. The track has been modified (the first chicane has been «cutted») for the occasion in order to allow Audi to test their car driving at high speeds for the upcoming 24 hours of Le Mans. If I’ve done correctly the calculations the R18 was going at about 330 km/h when there are the signs that indicate the braking point before the first chicane so I think it’s quite possible to reach 340 km/h before the long turn.

THANKS FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBE!!!

Since my favorite team decided to withdraw from the 24 Hours of le Mans and the WEC I wanted to make a little video about the car they raced during the last 3 years. You’ll see and hear (this is difficult I know) the R18 E-Tron Quattro in all its glory : Incredible cornering speed, insane accelerations, fast fly bys… This is my way to thank them for the 18 years in the endurance world. Enjoy guys !
