Audi pulled the wraps off its revamped diesel-powered sports car this week. The new R10 TDI will make its first race appearance at the Sebring 12-hour race in Florida next week in preparation for the Le Mans 24-hour race later in the season. This year the diesel-powered cars must run with a smaller fuel cell, 81 liters down from 90, to help level the playing field. But Audi and injection specialist Bosch worked over the engine to give it a more useable power curve. Some other changes include lighter diesel particulate filters, improved tires and refined suspension.

Peugeot first showed off their new diesel powered LeMans challenger at the Paris Motor Show last September. This June they will we taking on the totally dominant Audi R10s at le Sarthe and it should make for an exciting show. The first track testing photos of the new 908 HDi in raw carbon fiber with a few sponsor stickers at the Paul Ricard circuit in France were just revealed. Peugeot also announced the addition of ChampCar veteran Sebastien Bourdais and former Formula 1 champion Jacques Villeneuve to the driving lineup for the two cars running at LeMans. The drive to get the best possible mileage while maintaining performance is continuing to demonstrate that efficiency and speed are not mutually incompatible.

Audi R10 TDI gets Pioneering and Innovation Award from Autosport magazine

Filed under: Diesel, Audi



The all-conquering Audi R10 TDI has been awarded the Pioneering and Innovation Award from the British racing magazine Autosport at their annual awards ceremony. The R10 was the first diesel-powered racer to win the 24 hours of Le Mans as well as going undefeated in the seven races it ran in the American Le Mans Series. The vastly reduced fuel consumption of the diesel allowed the R10 to run three laps farther between each fuel stop at Le Mans compared to the previous R8. In 2007 Audi will be joined on the track by the new diesel powered Peugeot 908 RC which should give them some real competition for the first time in several years.
