I saw the new Audi LMP1 yesterday during a private test at Monza Circuit, in Italy. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good at all. And every year the car becomes more and more silent :(

You get quite some sound at the lower RPMs... it just sounds like a tractor :)

Great footage! I'm getting used to 500+ HP diesels being the sound of the future... is that jet-like whine from the system for the front wheels?

Have you heard them in person?

Wow, that really is whisper quiet.

But worth it if they win I guess.

I like this vid of his much better. Give me a screaming GT car any day over that cure for insomnia Audi.

Yes, I know it's just an Ultra. But at first time I thought it was the new e-Tron because during the test days at Sebring they said they had put a little red light around the headlights. I should have thought that the two e-Tron have the number #1 and #2 instead the Ultras have the number #3 and #4
