Don't tell Audi that diesels can't race. If you follow LeMans style endurance racing you'll already know about their cars.
The latest version is the R18 -
4L TDI V-6 making 558 HP running on bio-diesel(YIKES !). The car also has a 272 HP electric motor and all wheel drive. Power for the electric motor comes from a flywheel accumulation system.
The technology on this car is amazing.

Audi has been racing and winning with diesels in LeMans cars for about 10 years. The earlier versions did not have an electric motor.
For the interested Florida snowbirds - Audi usually brings it to the 12 hour race at Sebring every year.
