2015 Audi R8 LMS

Audi is running in front. As truly one of the primary automobile manufacturers to achieve this at the start of the 2015 season, a race car that satisfies the prerequisites of the new GT3 regulations to be introduced in 2016 is being presented by the brand together with the four rings. The newest Audi R8 LMS is safer and lighter than before. It features more race car technology, supplies customers with the efficient theory certainly improved aerodynamics and, consequently.

Back in spring of 2014, Audi started examining the new Audi R8 LMS which is following in footsteps that were large. The track record of the initial generation of the Audi R8 LMS represents 26 GT3 Tournament triumphs between 2014 and 2009, plus 23 titles in other categories and seven total successes in 24-hour races. Customers all over the world are relying on the achievement version from Neckarsulm of which more than 130 cars have been sold by the firm globally since 2009.

Quattro GmbH that assembles and develops the race cars is about to produce the initial versions of the next generation by the end of 2015 and begins to take customer orders in the 2nd half the year.

In once, on presenting the successor version, Audi plays a pioneering part in the procedure and is preparing for the bright future of GT3 racing. The newest Audi R8 LMS certainly surpasses the security conditions of the regulations to be introduced in 2016. The Audi Protection Seat PS 1 that may also be utilized in the R8 LMS in the future is establishing for a long time in the LMP group. A height and span as well as a fast flexible foot lever system adjustable security steering column allow versatile adjustment to the different motorists.

Audi methodically leverages its lightweight design expertise. Even with the excess weight caused by the initiations that were aforementioned the foundation weight of the race car was reduced from 1,250 to 1,225 kilograms. In once, the torsional stiffness of the framework that was distressed has grown by 39 percent.

Even though the material mixture in a race car is less simple, Audi has managed to incorporate the manufacturing procedure for production and race cars. In a fresh production facility in Heilbronn in the Bollinger Hofe industrial park, quattro GmbH makes both versions in combination. In Heilbronn-Biberach, the race cars are finished following these production measures.

Audi uses production components in racing from a technical and economical perspective, this is practical. It stays in virtually unchanged and, having a scheduled reconstruct interval of 20,000 kilometers, stets racing. The engineers use altered or entirely new constructions this is necessary in racing from the regulations or by the undoubtedly higher loads that happen in states that are competitive. Whereas the entirely new bodywork consists of CFRP the production ASF chassis, for example, is altered. The suspensor use wishbones only intended for racing for the very first time as well as the six-speed transmission with paddle shifters is a development that is completely new too. It's lighter than its predecessor since the last drop supplies system was removed, while its efficiency has improved. The newest MS 6.4 electronic equipment contain engine electronic equipment, traction control and applications for the electro-hydraulic gearshift. Higher processing speeds that result in more rapid reactions are enabled by the strong processor. A power box is just another attribute that is new. It replaces the original fuse box and makes it possible to define scenarios and individual loads.

The newest aerodynamic idea of the Audi R8 LMS for the very first time features a conceptually integrated back diffusor along with a completely lined underfloor. Consequently, the measurements of the back wing may be reduced with no corresponding increase of aerodynamic drag. Cooling area and the airflow speed of the radiator in the front have grown by ten percent to take care of maximum outside air temperatures. As a way to enhance the race drivers' ability to focus on their jobs, clean air flow in the cockpit was enhanced. These developments have been reached by Audi despite the higher constraints enforced on aerodynamics layout from the 2016 regulations.
