Audi yet again demonstrated its courage to innovate and pioneering spirit with the vision to build a diesel sportscar capable of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What many regarded as utopia became reality in June 2006: Audi was the first manufacturer to triumph at Le Mans with a diesel engine.
The Audi R10 TDI won again at Le Mans in 2007, furthermore the American Le Mans Series title was also successfully defended. In its first two years in action the diesel sportscar remained unbeaten in the LM P1 class. Thirteen overall victories in 21 races also make impressive reading.
