Outside The Box
Audi have also released the first public images of the R18′s 3.7-litre V6 TDI engine. The 510hp unit uses a Honeywell Garrett mono turbo system with inboard exhaust manifolds and variable turbine geometry. “The temperatures are extreme,” says Ulrich Baretzky, Head of Engine Development. “Temperatures of up to 1,050 degrees Celsius in the turbine and in the VTG can only be handled by high-temperature-resistant steel alloys”. It’s the stuff privateer teams dream of.
"Its not the size of the engine that matters... its how much shit you can bolt to it....."
