The Audi R18 features a closed canopy and is powered by a 3.7-litre TDI V6 that spins the wheels via a six-speed transmission. Due to its carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the Audi R18 is expected to be stiffer and weight less than the previous generation Le Mans racer.

The programme planned for the tradition-steeped American circuit specified endurance runs for one of the completely re-developed LMP1 sports cars while the second Audi R18 was primarily used for development work. The Audi R15 “plus plus” that will be fielded at the 12-hour race at Sebring – the season opener of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (ILMC) – completed a long run as well. In addition, the basic setup for the race in March was worked out on the vehicle.
