What made the Audi R18 so special?
Like its predecessor, the R18 uses a TDI turbocharged diesel engine but with a reduced capacity of 3. V6 configuration. For the first time since the 1999 R8C, the Audi Le Mans prototype used a closed cockpit design. The R18 is also the first racing car from Audi to feature hybrid power. Breathtaking design, a tantalizing engine sound, and driving dynamics like no other road-legal Audi ever offered: When it was unveiled in 2006, the R8 was a revolution – in Germany and around the world. A mid-engine super sports car; never before had Audi offered such a vehicle.
What is the Audi Ultra package?
Quattro Ultra Technology**: The Q8 uses Audi’s Quattro Ultra all-wheel-drive system, which dynamically shifts between front-wheel drive and all- wheel drive based on driving conditions. This technology helps to improve fuel efficiency and provides better traction when needed. What does Audi Quattro mean? Simply put, Quattro refers to Audi’s famed all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which, unlike traditional two-wheel drive systems, delivers power to all four wheels. This ensures better traction, stability, and control, especially in challenging driving conditions.
