Audi R15 TDI
Looks like R10 TDI will be replaced by the R15 TDI at Sebring next year if Audi wants to stay on top. According to Audi, the step taken from the R8 to the R10, the step is even bigger from the R10 to R15. The R15 remains as an open-topped roadster.<ul><li><a href="http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Motorsport_News/article_4489.shtml">Sebring Debut for Audi R15 TDI</a></li></ul>

Rumor is that they will still run the R10 after Sebring..in the ALMS...and the R15 in Europe
Guess we will have to wait and see if that turns out to be turn or not. But sure sounds exciting for Audi.

What could be a bigger step than going from gasoline to diesel?
Maybe some sort of diesel-electric hybrid? We know VAG has been working on such a technology for quite a while now.
