The new Audi R8 LMS now featuring even more race car technology is following in the footsteps of its successful predecessor. 28 GT Championship wins between 2009 and 2015 and eight overall victories in 24-hour races are an impressively strong track record. The new Audi R8 LMS is set on continuing it. The brand with the four rings has been testing the new race car that will be available to customer teams around the world in 2016 since spring of 2014.
Audi fans were already able to marvel at the new GT3 sports car from Neckarsulm in full action in 2015, for instance in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, where the Audi Sport Team WRT celebrated overall victory with the new R8 LMS. The 2016 season also began successfully: An overall victory in the Dubai 24 Hours and a class win in the classic Daytona 24 Hours. The Audi R8 LMS proves the brand’s lightweight design expertise, meets highest safety standards and features even more sophisticated aerodynamics than its predecessor.
