Sebring audi r15 onboard lap

[Theaverable]

Diesels only win because horsepower is restricted but torque isn't. Diesel engines are heavier and sound pretty terrible compared to a petrol V8 or V12. But pretty much any engine that only revs upto 6 or 7 thousand sounds aweful.

[dadoVRC]

Diesel are better, and efficiency is the future.

However, gas engine has better sound only because they have free exhaust system.

Put a katalyser and a DPF on a gas engine, it sounds like these diesel.

[theundeadx]

@dadoVRC without the DPF it will literally smoked them all..

[pepinho89]

the 12 hours of sebring is such a fun event.  i have been going for many years and audi just keeps getting better and better

[ffmotorsports51]

I got the Audi R15 TDI in my Forza Motorsport 3 game and it's a blast to drive! I hope the R15 wins Le Mans this year, GO AUDI!

[LEGend432345]

@ffmotorsports51 i boght the lola 007 but the r15 is still cool

[1889ale]

r15 is definitely better than r10...engine has got same power but lighter.... more down force ...even the sound is better...the reason why audi sucked at lemans is they have done so many races less than the previous year and peugeot had done a brilliant work

[ffmotorsports51]

I miss the R10. I like the R15, it has potential. I know Audi will be stronger next year, they will get revenge on Peugeot!

[SynthieAl]

sound of r10 was definitely better. also the design of the r15 looks a little bit grotesque. like a train.

[SgtH3nry3]

Are you joking? The V12 didn't have much sound to it.

You could hear the turbochargers surging and the transmission singing but that was about it.

This has a singing V10, it's almost like a late ninties/early two-thousands F1 car going diesel.

[SynthieAl]

No I'm not joking. I must agree with your R10 sound definition, that's true. To be honest I was overjoyed when I first saw and heard the R10 in action. A torque of more than 1100 Nm and quiet like a street Audi. The R15 sounds more like a soviet tank than like a modern racing car. And it looks the same!

[SgtH3nry3]

True. The R10 TDI LMP1 is very quiet, which is probably mainly due to the perfect balance and firing order of a V12 engine.

I'm more of a noise guy though, I like loud engines. But I'm also very tech-savvy and thus I like the efficiency of a diesel engine.

This is the perfect combination for me! I just like the looks of the R10 TDI LMP1 better though.

Btw, most Soviet tank engines were V12 diesels like the R10 TDI LMP1, mostly two-stroke like Detroit Diesels.

[SynthieAl]

I totally agree with you again. The R10's firing order is awesome. Must be Common Rail Direct Injection, otherwise I couldn't understand how this high power is produced in combination with this quietness. Right Soviet tanks are driven by V12 diesels. The R15's sound reminds me of that good old BMPs, those troop transporters.

I like both, the R10 and the R15, in the visual as in the acoustic way!

Do you know the Group C Porsche 956?

[SgtH3nry3]

The BMPs were aircooled 4-stroke V6 diesels.

Indeed the R10 has common rail direct injection with twin-turbocharger setup, I believe the fuel pressure is about 250 mPa or 36k psi, which is ... crazy.

The Group C Porsche 956? Of course!

[SynthieAl]

Most impressive car and sound in racing history, at least in sport prototype history!

[v8nascar]

awesome sound, but r10 was better

[vietdude7]

I like the R15 but only thing i hate about it is its headlights.

also R15 doesn't sound as catchy as R8 or R10

[Philmen]

Audi is the best !

[Norexan20]

brute force

[mangeurdos]

tdi power :)

[DannyBoySmith1993]

sounds more growlier than the r10! Almost sounds like a petrol V10!

[carsismeZ06]

Sounds a bit different than the R10.

[welowrider32]

Its a V10 instead of a V12.

[carsismeZ06]

That, and it's smaller. Either way it sounds better.

[vikirad]

Smaller in terms of packaging size. Engine capacity is still 5.5 liters.

[Razor1097]

lol whats redline on this thing like 5000rpm? lol

[Razor1097]

must have like 4000 pound feet though lol, no i dont know, how much torque does this thing have?

[Strelkach]

more than 1050 Nm

[heinedenstore]

sounds like a overkill tractor

[MadSpanish]

it seems very fast and I'm sure of that the Audi gonna be win again in La Mans its not question.

[gaynigerfrmoutrspace]

diesels sound boring

[JM51391]

Diesels might sound boring but truth is that the R15 is 2% faster than the other gasoline cars in LMP1.

[joelmafonso]

@JM51391 the r15 is more faster than gasoline cars are very restricted rules

[mildrew38]

Best sound??????!!! I have better sounds coming out of my arse

[Orion16x]

thats what she said

[alzenporsche93]

Best Sound!!!

[vivaSchumi7]

A Lion can jump thru a ring with ease, two rings, and a little harder, three rings is just hard, and a lion falls jumping thru 4 rings!! AUDI (4 rings) #1!!!! Peugeot (lion) sucks!!!!!

[yoobro91]

sounds nice for a TDI with 12 cylinders.

=)

[Nitroholic]

it's a V10 moron

[yoobro91]

gezzz i made a mistake fag.

[Dominykas14]

its better than stupid peugeot 12

um AUDI RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[victusvictorius]

i think peugeot totally lost its chance for glory with last season they were competing with audi who were using a car they had run for a few years which didnt handle as well as the peugeots but with the r15 i think they have lost all the advantages they had last year and are on level ground now, audi runs more smoothly all round in pitstops etc

[JM51391]

The Peugeot is still faster, but their pit strategies just killed them in the 12 hours of sebring. We'll see what happens in the 24 hours of Le mans.

[maxilos1987]

i agree peugeot just arent as efficient in the pits as audi same thing happened last year at Le Mans.

[welowrider32]

And it breaks down more often.

Le Mans 2009 Will be an interesting race for sure!

[welowrider32]

I mean the peogeot.

[Boxtacular117]

Awesome!

[NascarNSX]

thanks for the video! was awesome race!

[ml2312]

Audi uber alles
