The Original

Audi remains a dominant force in sports car racing, with their R8. For the 2002 season the outside of the car is only modified slightly as it proved a winning car in the 2001 season. Under the carbon body sits a FSI direct fuel injection engine.

In an FSI engine the exact amount of necessary fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber applying a pressure of 100 bars. The effects are a lowered fuel consumption, an increase of power at low revs and a better response.

At the season opening Sebring 12 Hours race the R8 proved it hadn't lost its edge as the 2002 model model scored a third consecutive win, a Champion entered 2001 R8 finished second. few months later at LeMans the Audis were stronger than ever with an all-Audi podium. The victory of the Pirro/Biela/Kristensen driven #1 Audi was never in danger as they secured the third consecutive Audi victory at the 24 Hours of LeMans race.
