The Audi R10 TDI is a Le Mans Prototype (LMP) race car that was developed and built by Audi Sport for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other endurance racing events. It was the successor to the Audi R8 LMP and competed in the LMP1 category.
The R10 TDI was powered by a 5.5-liter V12 TDI turbodiesel engine, producing around 650 horsepower and 1,000 lb-ft of torque. The car was also equipped with a six-speed sequential gearbox and a lightweight carbon fiber and aluminum monocoque chassis.
The R10 TDI made its debut at the 2006 12 Hours of Sebring, where it won the race. It went on to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2006, 2007, and 2008, becoming the first diesel-powered car to do so. The R10 TDI also won the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) LMP1 championship in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
The R10 TDI was replaced by the Audi R15 TDI in 2009, but it remains one of the most successful Le Mans Prototype race cars of all time.
