  • 2017 Audi R8

    “The R8 is born at Le Mans.” So said “Mr. Le Mans,” now-retired race driver and nine-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen in a promotional video that Audi showed at the press drive for the 2017 R8 supercar.

Starting in 2000 Audi competed at and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the R8 Prototype racer, taking the checkered flag at that prestigious race five times in its first six tries. The R8 production car followed in 2008 as Audi’s...
