Audi says that the new Audi R18 e-tron quattro is lighter, safer and more efficient than any previous racing prototype in its history. “Thanks to our constant development work there are no measures left that would yield major weight savings in a single step. Instead, the art lies in achieving further improvements of all the details,” says Wolfgang Appel, Head of Vehicle Technology at Audi Sport. Audi and Porsche are also in a intense PR war in the run-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and this is Audi's latest salvo.
