"Downsizing, energy recovery and electric mobility, as well, will play a major part in future events of the Le Mans 24 Hours," says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "I can't imagine a better platform for Audi than this unique race."

From 2011 forward, new technical regulations prescribing smaller, even more efficient engines will come into force at Le Mans. Audi Sport has already started to work on the successor model of the current R15 TDI under the project name "R18."
