In the magazine: Audi's hybrids on a Le Mans high

This week's AUTOSPORT magazine goes behind the intra-Audi battle at Le Mans to find out how the pair of R18 e-tron quattros gave the manufacturer an historic 24 Hours one-two for hybrid technology

Autosport Magazine

Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.

Not content to have won 10 of the past 12 Le Mans 24 Hour enduros with petrol and diesel power - and in both open-top and coupe chassis - Audi came to the 80th edition of the race with revolutionary technology in its arsenal. The hybrid e-tron quattro R18s were equipped with power-boosting energy-recovery systems that had only competed once in the run-up to the toughest race of them all.

But that didn't stop the German giant taking an historic one-two, with Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer heading home Dindo Capello, Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish.
