Audi's new Le Mans LMP1 racecar will be a closed-cockpit model, like rival Peugeot's. The company's R18 debuted earlier today in Ingolstadt and is the key to Audi's bid for a 10th Le Mans 24 win.
According to the press release, the LEDs of the daytime running lights form the shape of a "1," recalling Audi's historic brand logo.
The R18 won't be at Sebring, however — that honor will go to the R15. The R18 will make its race debut at the Spa-Francorchamps 6 Hours in May, 2011, before moving on to the Le Mans 24, Imola 6, Silverstone 6, Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta in October 2011, and China 6 hours.
