Confirmed: Audi To Replace R10 With R15 TDi In 2009

Audi has confirmed that it will replace its R10 TDi sportscar with a new model, the R15, next season.

The R10 was Audi's first turbo-diesel LMP1 car and followed the R8, which won the Le Mans 24 Hours five times in six years between 2000 and 2005.

The R10 won Le Mans in each of the three years since its introduction in 2006, and it will be superseded by the R15 TDi from 2009.

Nice to see Audi's continued committment to Le Mans 24 Hours. Audi is ready to defend it Le Mans dynasty once again. Next year should be their 9th win equaling Ferrari and only Porsche ahead of them.
