The innovative laser light, which about 500 guests in attendance at the ‘Audi Sport Finale’ had the chance to experience live for the first time, complements the main LED headlights of the new Audi R18 e-tron quattro. A blue laser beam backlights a yellow phosphorus crystal lens through which the light beam is then emitted. This new light source provides even more homogenous lighting of the road.

Apart from the lights, what have we actually learnt from this announcement?

Audi kind of blew all their exclusives with the PR shots last week. At least we have confirmation of three cars at Le Mans - not that that's a surprise.

Looks substantially different from last year´s R18, why haven´t they labelled it with a higher number - or R18+ at least?

This is Audi, who doesn't think race car R8 looks any different to road car R8, so...

Even the new Audi Sport HQ deal isn't that new--Audi announced the ground-breaking of it around the time of the Shanghai WEC round. The new facility will be the main HQ for Audi Sport, and the facility is just a few minutes drive from Inglostadt.

Not really much news coming out. I was hoping for an announcement of new driver lineup.

I'm still wondering whether this is the final livery. It's black, so it is cool, but other than that, there is not much design going on. Very rudimentary even by Audi's standards (yak: R15+).

Oh for Christ's sake, such an Audi fan as I am, I can't stand their ridiculous PR strategy. It's like bombarding a place for a year but only one bomber is sent everyday. No one is robbing audience from you guys! I want more than being flirted for 24 secs every day....



Thanks for keeping us updated, deggis.

Back to the old R18 for a moment: the link that Japanese Samurai posted in the TS030 thread also has photos and specs on the previous generation R18 family and it's engine. Article is in Japanese, though, but I'll post the link if one wants to look at the photos:
