Default Audi R10 Diesel wins lemans

Pretty cool huh... audi has been winning lemans since the beginning of the millenium, this time it was done with the new Diesel powered Audi R10

It is a 5.5 L all aluminium bi-turbo 90° V12, with common rail direct injection of more than 1600 bar. Its output should be 650 hp (485 kW) (regulated) and 1100 N·m (811 ft·lbf) of torque, and its usable power band is between 3000 and 5000 rpm. Its benefits are a broad range of usable power, high torque and economy. Two Garrett turbochargers limited by the regulations to 2.94 bar absolute breathe through two 39.9 mm air intake restrictors. It uses the latest Bosch Motronic (MS14) management, 1600 bar piezo injectors, and makes a low noise for a race car.
