AUDI TO UNVEIL LATEST PROTOTYPE // R15-LMP

Audi’s R10 TDI Le Mans champion is dead. The LM Prototype that defined a transition to force-fed diesel power and dominated it's field will be succeeded by Audi’s latest dino-powered ride, the R15. Expected to debut at this years 12 Hours of Sebring, the R15 will feature a smaller, lighter, more efficient TDI motor, and most importantly, will not retain its open top appearance. So, why change what has been so successful? Well according to Audi Motorsport head Wolfgang Ullrich, "It was clear to us that we must develop a new car if we wanted to continue to be successful in Le Mans." In other words, Peugeot had our number, we were lucky, and there is no need to take any chances...

With an official unveiling expect sometime before the Sebring race, we anticipate an Audi press-release will hit our inbox in the very near future. Until then we can only speculate... Image comes courtesy of Fourtitude.com // 11.29.2008
