Thanks for the link.

Audi will turn heads once again, if they can win Le Mans with that motor.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL you see! It's been done. This is the first step, in the new era described by the journalists as the participation of diesel engines in auto motorsport. At this rate of progress i really fear for the gas engines 5-10 years from now.

Huh? Where's the sound? In the video they just showed the car on the street with some Audi ppl talking. I didn't hear the engine at all...

What's the point of this diesel race car? Did they built it just to see if it was possible, or does it get good gas mileage that it won't have to pit during the race?

"The Le Mans Prototype, with over 650 hp and more than 1100 Newton metres of torque, significantly exceeds the power produced by the majority of previous Audi racing cars ? including that of its victorious R8 predecessor. "
You do the logic. More power, alot more torque than R8 and maybe i dunno improved fuel consumption with similar weight. Need i say more?
