About weight reduction<br />

The demands placed on modern vehicles are<br />

contradictory. On the one hand, they must<br />

offer enhanced performance and comfort, on<br />

the other they need to be more economical<br />

and efficient. <strong>Audi</strong> ultra resolves this conflict<br />

by examining each and every component. We<br />

demand the highest functionality combined<br />

with the lowest possible weight. The result is<br />

an intelligent mix of materials that even<br />

allows a reduction in engine size: Lighter<br />

vehicles no longer need a large engine to be<br />

agile. In 2011, for example, the R18 TDI won<br />

in Le Mans with a V6 engine, whereas its<br />

victorious predecessor, the R15 TDI, had<br />

featured a V10 engine.<br />
