Audi testing its new stealth fighter at Sebring...
First video I've seen of the R18 in motion.
Whooosh! Why didn't they race these at Sebring? |

It's deceptive. Sure it sounds like a jet-car. But that's just because all you hear on the new 6-cylinder diesel motor powering that car, is the bigass turbo.
The previous generations (open cockpit R10 and R15) used V12 and V10 diesels which were also rather quiet. Now they are mandated to use a smaller, lower HP engine but they also significantly reduced the weight. These R18's powered by a puny V6 diesel are still going to give Peugeot a run for the money. Those feckers have gotta be running a lot of boost! |

Still haven't gotten used to the enclosed cockpit. Still think the R8 is the sexiest prototype racer they made.
