The name remains the same, but the car underneath is all new with brand new technology with the 2016 Audi R18 e-tron quattro despite the whole of the car, the front expressively looks very ugly in my opinion.
The new updates to the new R18 e-tron includes a much more developed 4 litre V6 turbo-diesel underneath. The new R18 e-tron quattro will upper the hybrid technology with Audi abandoning the flywheel energy storage that holds four megajoules before, in favour for a lithium-ion battery, the same technology that uses by Porsche with the 919 Hybrid that now produces six megajoules.
The new R18 e-tron once again pushes the limits on aerodynamics, as can be seen from the first images it looks more narrower than previous R18 etron's.
But, the question for Audi is can the new R18 e-tron quattro be fast enough to beat the likes of Porsche and Toyota next season in the World Endurance Championship? time will tell as we haven't seen what Porsche and Toyota have shown yet for 2016.
End of post for now, new post soon. Bye.
