History

Audi wrote an important chapter in the history of motor racing with its historic triumph in the Le Mans 24 Hour race in June 2006. The new Audi R10 TDI was the first diesel car to win what is arguably the toughest car race in the world. The 5.5 litre V12 Turbo Diesel engine proved both powerful and exceptionally reliable.

In front of a record crowd of 235,000 spectators, Frank Biela (Germany), Emanuele Pirro (Italy) and Marco Werner (Germany) clinched Audi's sixth Le Mans win.

The Audi R10 also won its maiden race in 2006, the famous ‘12 hours of Sebring’.
