Endurance racing is all about speed and reliability. To win it takes years of research to perfect innovations like TDI fuel injection, which kept our pioneering R10 TDI sports prototype going for longer between fuel stops en route to a dramatic sequence of 22 race wins.

Saving fuel and those vital extra seconds proved crucial for Audi with a remarkable nine race wins in a single 2008 season.  Winners not only in the prestigious 2008 American and European Le Mans Series, but also in three consecutive history-making Le Mans 24 hour marathons, Audi TDI technology has proven its clear advantage.

The same race winning TDI technology – common rail and advanced Piezo injectors, is available across the Audi range.
