Only a week after the World Championship winning Audi R18 e-tron quattro race car’s last run in a race, its successor is ready to hit the track.
Accordingly, the next-generation R18 e-tron quattro will meet to the technical regulations applicable for next year and is designed for maximum efficiency. Starting yesterday, the 2014 R18 e-tron quattro has been tested at the Sebring race track in the United States.
"We’ve reached a crucial stage in this project," said Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "After building the first prototype, testing on various race tracks is now taking center-stage. The tests are mainly focused on achieving high mileage, coordinating the highly complex hybrid drive systems and working out an efficiency optimized total package that has never before been as complex as this one."
Full details about the LMP1 racer will be released before the end of the year.
