Audi Le Mans Quattro
The Audi Le Mans Quattro is not only beautiful in appearance, but it is also a monster on the racetrack. This vehicle has won 3 times the Le Mans 24-hour race, one of the most demanding races in automobile history. This race is the world's most famous automobile endurance race, which is held annually at Circuit de la Sarthe near Le Mans in France. This race, held annually in June is one for only the greatest. The Audi Le Mans Quattro is one of the greatest. Its aerodynamic curves help it cut throught the air and reach higher speeds. The car is 1.90m wide and only 4.37m long and 1.25m high. This supersport model is equiped with a V10 enine with its twin turbochargers: a technical sculpture that is visible from the inside of the car and also through a large, transparent rear flap. To the rear of the doors, between the sill and the roof, there is a large outward-curving air intake that supplies the V10 engine, the oil cooler, the charge-air intercooler and the brakes with sufficient air.
The aerodynamics of this car are obviously not only for looks, but for stability when at high speeds. When the Audi Le Mans Quattro is driven at a speed above 120km/h, the rear spoiler is extended automaticaly into the slipstream, to add to the 'negative lift' that keeps the car on the ground. The outer skin of the car and add-on parts are of mixed weight-saving construction using aluminium and carbon-fibre reinforced plastics. Due to the power this car has, it naturally has a four-wheel drive system. The Audi Le Mans Quattro is able to jump from a standstill to 100km/h in only 3.7 seconds. This car can reach speeds up to 345km/h. It reaches 200km/h within 10.8 seconds. Overall this is a physically apealing car and a very powerfull race car. This car is featured in Need for Speed Carbon.
