From the Audi R8R to the hybrid R18 RP6: In the fast lane with innovations

Starting a new race car series is a challenge for car makers. Especially the 24 hours of Le Mans are known as a severe endurance test for man and material. And Audi knew how to use the famous long-distance race as a stage for new technologies, all the while living up to their slogan "Vorsprung durch Technik" (i.e. "leading by technology"): The fast and reliable Audi models left their competitors in the dust. Also, the first victory of a car with diesel-and-hybrid technology went to the German car brand. On more than 300 pages, this illustrated book depicts the impressive history of the brand from 1999 until the WEC exit in 2016.
