Audi Sport, which was Porsche's strongest challenger in 2015, has already begun preparing for next season. Central to its campaign will be a redesigned R18 e-tron quattro LMP1 race car.
The just-revealed 2016 model retains a turbo diesel engine, but there has been a significant change to the hybrid part of the powertrain. Replacing the four mega-joule flywheel energy storage system is a six mega-joule set-up that uses lithium-ion batteries instead.
Full technical details and estimated output figures have yet to be released.
