Converted back into alternating current by the power electronics, it then supplies the MGU’s two electric motors. When the speed exceeds 120 km/h, the energy is called up from the storage system again. This current drives a flywheel energy storage system positioned on the left inside the cockpit. Their two permanently excited synchronous machines convert the recovered energy into direct current through power electronics. On the R18 e-tron quattro, part of the braking energy benefits the motor generator unit (MGU) that is located at the front axle.

After weighing up considerations such as traction, handling characteristics, packaging and weight distribution, they ultimately decided to separate the drive systems by axle – the combustion engine drives the rear wheels permanently, and the electric drive propels the front wheels on demand. These included a parallel hybrid, where both drive systems propel the rear wheels. In the first development step, the engineers from Audi Sport and their partners investigated a wide variety of solutions.

The concept behind the Audi R18 e-tron quattro is unprecedented in LMP sport, and its realization a pioneering achievement. The 2016 season also began successfully: An overall victory in the Dubai 24 Hours and a class win in the classic Daytona 24 Hours. At the 12-hour race at Sepang the Audi R8 LMS took a one-two-three win.

The new Audi R8 LMS, now featuring even more race car technology, is following in the footsteps of its successful predecessor.Īudi fans were already able to marvel at the new GT3 sports car from Neckarsulm in full action in 2015, for instance in the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring, where the Audi Sport Team WRT celebrated overall victory with the new R8 LMS.
