The Audi R10 TDI, usually abbreviated to R10, is a racing car from the German car manufacturer Audi . The car is by far a classic at Le Mans, winning every year since its introduction. It is designed and constructed for sports car racing in the Le Mans Prototype similar endurance races. It was the first diesel powered car to win either of those events. This is the most ambitious and the most expensive project ever undertaken by Audi Sport; the Audi R10 TDI project costs Audi $15 million a year Category Sports car racing - Le Mans Prototype LMP1 Constructor Audi AG (with Dallara) Technical specifications Chassis Carbon fibre monocoque Suspension (front) Double wishbone, torsion bar with separate damper, anti-roll bar Suspension (rear) Double wishbone, torsion bar with separate damper, anti-roll bar Brakes Carbon Wheelbase 2,980 mm (117.3 in) Engine Audi 5.5 litre V12 TDI DPF twin-turbo, mid-engined, longitudinally mounted Transmission 6-speed sequential manual[1] Electronic Bosch Motorsport engine control unit and chassis data recording Steering Megaline electronics, with pedal shift, dashboard and shiftlightsFuel Shell V-Power Diesel Tyres Michelin The car with a great history is full equip and ready to run.

No idea of cost but it's out just in time to buy it for a loved one!

I think the R10 is just lovely car when it was first shown in Paris. i still like it now.

Shame it sounds so dull, and looks dated compared to the R15.

i'm not so aure, the r15 has such a poor record and in my opion is starting to look like a white elephant

i think the R15 is was guttsey move Audi they needed something to take on The Pugs and it did work kind of it just need to be sorted out a bit more.

The R10 is just mega car still looks good in my opinion compare to other "newer" cars

i like the r10 but i think the r8 still takes it for me anyway. Or the R8c on pure looks.

there is a photo some where of the r8c in production and behind the people making it is the still born toyota lmp1 car

here we go

i couldn't belive the R8 won some many times at le mans, 2005 must of been one of its best win with everything against.

I really like 2006 Houston race The R8 won for the final time.

and while i'm linking to mulsane corner i might as well through in the link to the only 2 photos of the still born Porsche lmp1 from 99/2000 being driver by alain mcnish

rumour has it they did a deal with audi where audi got the r8 racecar and porshce got the cayenne

The R8 was a great car, but at the time, no manufacturer was as committed to sportscar racing then Audi. At Le Mans in particular, it was just Audi v Audi. Pesceralo never truly featured.

The R15 in real life, looks so much sharper and dramatic then the R10. The winglets, the angry front nose and other features, suddenly make the R10 look old. But, the R15 didn't really do what it was supposed to do. The R15 still badly lagged behind the 908 in pure speed this year.

That's a very interesting site you found there CT, the stuff about the XJR-14 chassis winning Le Mans as a Porsche in 96 and 97 is very interesting indeed.
