The car you see is the 2005 Audi R8 LMP, a sports prototype Barchetta that the house of the four rings has used in Endurance races. This model is the last with a petrol engine before being replaced, in 2006 with the subsequent R10 TDI diesel. I had the pleasure of filming it in a couple of occasions, on the Imola circuit for the Motor Legend Festival and the Nürburgring track during the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix. During its long racing season, ended in a team that is no longer official but still winning, continue to won a couple of 24h of Le Mans with pilots such as Emanuele Pirro, Tom Kristensen and Alan McNish. The car is the latest evolution of the basic design that began with the 2001 versions. The 2005 model is powered by a 3.6-litre V8 Twin-Turbo engine with direct FSI petrol injection placed in the central/rear position. The power was drastically reduced by regulation and went from 625hp in 2001 to about 520hp of the current model. The construction features a monocoque in aluminium and carbon fibre, a 6-speed sequential gearbox from Ricardo and independent Push-Rod suspension on the front and rear. The weight is slightly higher than 950Kg.
