2014 Audi R18 e-tron quattro first view
Audi has released a first image of the R18 e-tron quattro, the LMP1 car it hopes will be good enough to retain both the manufacturers’ and drivers’ titles in next season’s FIA World Endurance Championship.
Despite bearing the same name as its predecessor, the latest R18 is very different thanks to some major technical regulation changes.
For 2014, the focus for LMP1 competitors will be on maximising efficiency without losing performance. That’s because fuel allocations are going to vary according to whether their cars use petrol or diesel and the strength of any hybrid systems.
Other amendments include the introduction of rear crash structures, wheel tethers, higher seating positions and larger windscreens. Cars also have to be narrower by 100 mm (3.9”).
