Race Car: Audi R18

In Audi's attempt to go for it's tenth win in twelve Le Mans, they have produced this next-gen attempt for dominance-the R18. Going with a closed cockpit due to smaller engine specs, the R18 runs a 3.7 litre V6 TDI with a newly-developed six-speed transmission. Full carbon-fibre monocoque makes it light and more stiff and the LED headlamps are, perhaps with a touch of Audi audaciousness, shaped in the number one. We'll see in June when Peugot shows up in France how this amazing-looking race car will fare in the 24.
