The Audi R18 is a series of Le Mans Prototype racing cars built by Audi as the successor to the R15 TDI. It kept a turbocharged TDI diesel engine, now a 3.7 litre V6, and was the first Audi Le Mans prototype with a closed cockpit since the 1999 R8C and the first Audi racing car with hybrid power. The first car, the R18 TDI of 2011, was launched in Ingolstadt on 10 December 2010. It was lighter than the R15 at about 850 kg, used a wider front tyre, a new six speed gearbox from Xtrac and was the first Audi with LED headlights, and its V6 was claimed to give over 403 kW (540 hp) and 900 N m. Audi said the R18 designation could be used for the foreseeable future, and there were five further evolutions before Audi left the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2016.
