- How This Diesel Audi Destroyed Everyone
Until 2006, only petrol (gasoline) powered cars had won the Le Mans race. Audi decided to see if they could change this with their new project...

“Diesels are heavier”
Vw made gas and diesels with the same block and rotating assembly ohhhh
Only since about since 1975😂
Not surprised. These are the same people who took a V10, cut 2 cylinders off, called it a V8, and put it into a sports sedan, coupe, and supercar.
Well here in USA land they just add 2 cyl to a v8 and call them v10s. Works great
Took a V10, cut off two cylinders, called it a V....8.... Yeah? Is there anyone who WOULDN'T do this? Because if they wouldn't, then they can't count gud....
And a wagon
Yeah that crankshaft would do some real fun dance. For about a second. 😉
What an educated statement.
"Enough torque to change the rotation of the Earth"
There i fixed it
It almost did with the VW Group dieselgate scam that ensued.
@@user-oe1mb9hu9igrow up kid
@@user-oe1mb9hu9i😂😂😂
@@user-oe1mb9hu9i Still, VW are immaculate engines. I admire them for that 'scam'. Gods of mechanical engineering.
@@dinorossi6611 I happy they have have clients like yourself to continue scamming the masses without any remors whatsoever.
It's continueing today with all tehse VERY small capacity 3 cylinder engines with turbos.
Designed to fool the road tests again as when you use the turbos they emit as much CO2 and consume as much fuel as the large engines they have replaced, so no gain there EXCEPT on paper again as you CAN drive them w'out using the turbos and that's how they pass emissions tests.
This bubble will also burst one day soon.
Two things about that car, 1; how quiet it was, in my entire career I had never heard the tyres working as hard as they did! 2; the gearbox was the Achilles heel on that car but the knew that and planned accordingly and when they changed the box during the race in 5mins! I remember watching those 19 people changing it in utter amazement!
That's some nice insight! Thank you, and hope you enjoyed the video :)
The gearbox change was done on the R8, not R10.
@@ederss7 On the R10, in the end, we changed the entire gear cassette way under 10min. The rules only wanted the gearbox case to make the entire race. On the R8 we changed the everything behind the engine box suspensions, brakes, the crash box with its wing carrier and other bits. By lifting the R10 on its nose we didn't have to re-fill the gear box, just a quick top-up. Dozens of trick like that and design changes made it possible.
I can't imagine how in the fuck 19 people could work on one car at once.
@@LG-ct8twHow about tricks and design changes to prevent failures in the first place?
I've just recently bought an Audi TT Quattro with the TDI engine, and It's incredible. The torque at low revs in 4th, 5th and 6th is staggering plus the fuel consumption, it just puts a smile on my face every time I drive it , not bad at all for a hairdressers car
wait until you need to repair it, even somplest jobs are engine out
Repair costs for audi diesels are insane. One diesel injector costs 800euros used! Be ready to spend 20k euros for repairs at 130tkm. Everything blows up at that mileage.
I sense a good automotive story-telling channel, always loved listening to many different stories in this industry, u got yourself a new sub
Thank you for subbing and for watching, Josh!
What do you mean you ONLY have 430 subs??? This is top quality!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching :)
Exactly. Judging by the quality, i assumed the dude to have more than 100K Subs loll. Underrated guy
Yea, I had to do a double take.
586K subs? not bad for a channel I haven't seen yet.
Wait a sec... There's no 'k' !
Because his channel is only 2 months old.
He’s ripping off “The Squidd” to a point. I mean, the Tumbnails are near identical in their presentation.
Good videos, but riding on the coattails of Squidd.
exactly. just seen the vid and up for more.
The R10 never had an engine failure. Its competitor, the 908, broke down three engines in a single race (Le Mans 2010).
wtf i thought this was a big ass channel from the quality of video… good shit brother keep grinding!
That’s great to hear, thanks dude!
The great Ulrich Baretsky was the engine guy. Legend.
Something alot of people forget is that diesels have a huge market share in Europe and are still being developed by BMW and Mercedes especially. In the US diesel is for big trucks only, but like 40% of normal passanger cars in Europe are still diesel.
There’s no denying that the Germans make great diesels!
Also the diesel in Europe is of another quality, that is simply why the US don't have the European diesel cars. The European 3l engine performs almost the same as an 6l US version but does even better on fuel consumption. This summer I drove in Scandinavia where I could maintain constant speed for a long distance. I made 1400 km with a BMW 530d Xdrive on a 70l tank.
I went to Sebring in '06 with my cousin's husband who had never been to any kind of race, and to him the 'noise' was unbearable, yet he marveled in wonder how the leading car and eventual winner - guess who - was almost silent...there were a couple Vipers chasing the equally loud ass factory Corvettes for the rest of us. 🏁
Very nice! The editing is simple but effective. But it’s always nice to hear the story of how the Audi R10 TDI came to be, besides winning Le Mans.
Thanks for watching!
Other German engineers mocked the audi guys in testing by calling the audi car a "heating oil ferrari"
... and then got absolutely humiliated. My favourite kind of story.
@@arcuz7862 And then Porsche humiliated Audi with a 2.0 liter gasoline engine.
I'd been working decades as a german sales manager until today and always (!) had diesel cars. It's pure excitement and fun to drive a 3l Audi TDI with six cylinders on a german autobahn, trust me! 🤩
Not as much fun as Basel to Kehl in 35 minutes with 6 litres of Jaguar V12 straight through exhausts and ITB induction 5 speed manual.Im sure there might be some Germans who can remember being overtaken by it that night.
While the Le Mans diesel victories were more about the laughable anti petrol engine regs with capacity limits and throttle restrictors.
Immense torque is something that you can't deny, it feels different@@confederatenationalist7283
Yep, diesel was all the rage in Europe during that era as the auto builders had convinced the market that diesels were clean and healthy for everyone...and then the facts materialized. Still its nice that Audi beat a different path just to show it could be done.
and now lots of engine builders kept making build of turbo diesel that make their own clouds in just a matter of minute
The quality of your videos are so good i only just realised your a small channel. Amazing videos man, keep up the good work
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks for watching :)
Bro continue this great series of videos
Stay tuned, many more are coming! Thanks for watching :)
hope to see those too 😁
Loved the story. Please keep making videos!
We will! In the meantime, check out our other videos!
Diesel engines don't get the love they so rightfully deserve: if an engine can benefit from 30% energy denser fuel and have huge amounts of low end torque, then it's clearly superior to gasoline engines. It's just plain and simple physics. I cannot comprehend why most people have difficulty understanding these facts.
Only turbo charged. I drove an N/A Diesel Opel Corsa B. It was the worst thing i have ever driven in my life. And they are running rougher, sound is shit compared. But for a salesman in his VW Passaton the "Autobahn" its the best thing in the world.
@@Superstocker669 an Opel Corsa is a small town car designed to be cheap, with a tiny engine. That does not mean that all diesel engines are like that.
@@AnnatarTheMaia Not the point. That was just a example that an N/A Diesel ist just a shity engine. Corsa B was just the last Generation where you could drive a N/A Diesel yourself. A Diesel always needs a turbo, at least in a car. And a same sized petrol engine with turbo is always superior to the diesel.
If i remember correct in 24h 2006 turbo charged allowed engine size was: petrol only 2.0 L turbo diesel 3.4L
N/A petrol 3.5L or something.
Another advantage of having a turbo diesel in an endurance racer is that the torque, smoothness and wide powerband takes a ton of stress off the driver. The gassers work a lot harder to produce power. That's the genius of the V12 TDI.....a luxury style race engine.
@@hoost3056 yes off course. But if you allow a turbo charged petrol engine with the same displacement it would smoke the turbo diesel. This Reglement was tailored for a diesel win. And the only opponent that year was a small french privateer team.
I love your style of vids.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the compliments and for watching :)
Bro 😮 I was literally just tapping next, next, next through random automotive videos on my phone cause nothing was grabbing my attention, but when this video started playing I don't know why, but you grabbed my attention. I wasn't even a quarter of the way through the video and I thought to myself, yup, this channel is getting a sub! Once it ended, I did exactly that, but when doing that, I was genuinely surprised. I was surprised at how few subs you have!
Now I say that because you're narrating, editing, tone, information/substance etc. and just overall good quality content had me automatically assuming this channel was another big channel that I just hadn't heard of yet.
Long story short, respect. You undoubtedly have exactly what you need for this recipe, and boy can you cook! 🙌🏻 I honestly feel that simplicity is key. However, I can fully understand how hard it would be keeping a video informative, engaging yet simple at the same time, nevertheless, I feel you've nailed it.
But then again, what do I actually know about this stuff anyways 😜 lol my point is, don't stop, you're good at this, and I hope that, even in some small way, this comment indicates exactly that 😊
Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video, very kind words! New video coming this week 🔥
Bro , ur gonna go big , 10/10 video
Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching :)
Team Audi is the best race team ever .. From the s1 Quattro to Pykes peak..special memories
The R8R is the reason I'm still an Audi fan to this day. I remember when the TDI R10 came out, I thought "they did what?" Looking forward to the follow up vid on the TDI Hybrid, origin of the E-tron badge.
Thanks for watching, and for the suggestion!
Bring back the TDI! I love my 2015, but would like to buy a new one.
This video is INSANELY good, congratulations on being extremely talented in this world, I hope you get the appreciation and views you deserve this is amazing
Thank you 🙏
Keywords: Fuel efficency and reliablitiy. It wasnt the fastest, but had to make much less pitstops.
3.22 was the fastest all the way till 2013?
It was the fastest as well actually the diesel torque dominated puny gas engines. Get your shit straight.
He clearly said it was the fastest, dummy.
I was absolutely the fastest, you clearly didnt pay much attention
When a casual thinks he's smart because he only listened to 1 fact. 😂🤦♂️👍
Damn... Only 281 subs?! Make that 282... Keep up the good videos bro!
Will do! Thank you for watching :)
I attended the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta for 5 of the annual event between 2007 & 2012. It was as amazing a weekend each time as could be.
my recall of it yields the observation that the C6 Corvettes & the Panoz were the eye candy / what everyone was "Oooing" & looking at all weekend but there was an aura around the Audi teams & these Diesel powered beasts which was tangible. The 3-4 TDI cars were in a seemingly race of their own more than once. Simply dominating race cars , the vibe was who will win & which position did you get after the Audi team ,of course....
occasionally you get a car that is incomparable & for this window of time in history,these Audi were top racecar during turn of the millennium 2000s.
Your story telling with your audio quality make your videos really enjoyable, keep it up!
Subbed.
The vintage almost kind of feel on these videos are awesome. Music and background track is good, definitely dont go too loud with it tho! I love these videos youve got. I bet youll reach 100k subs some day
Thank you, and hopefully!
your channels deserves more recognition! Keep up the great work!
The first road race I went to was the 2006 Petit Le Mans. I was young, and didn't know much about cars or IMSA. Most cars sounded like angry bees, the Corvettes had roaring and throaty-sounding engines, Mercedes AMG GT cars had a smoother-sounding roar, and these Audi's sounded like a pleasant and quiet sigh / hum. They fascinated me, so I rooted for them. For the first few laps, I thought they might've been electric. I remember the announcers and fans held skepticism for the new turbo-diesel engine. I didn't know enough about engines to know what that meant, but I continued to cheer them on and was very happy when they won. I was also rooting for the Corvettes in GT-1, and they did okay, but they did not win their class. I also rooted for what I called the "DHL" cars for LMP2, which now I know were the Porsche RS Spyders from Penske. They won LMP2. Just going off of the sounds and sights of the cars, I was able to pick the winner for LMP1 and LMP2. :D I remember the Nissan Delta Wing was also being introduced, and I was disappointed that they didn't race it after hyping it up at their display.
the r10 diesel engine had twice as much torque as any petrol engine in its class and 5 times as much the f1 v10 of the time
I was lucky enough to see a pair of these cars race. They are hauling around the corner right in front of you, and you can just hear a little drivetrain whine. Meanwhile the other gasoline cars are 3/4 km away coming towards you and thats all you can hear.
Speed, formerly speedvision, back when Rally racing was televised. Those were the days.
I enjoy every second of this video. Very great content and narration!
This chanel needs more followers...The fact this video has more likes then you do followers is mind boggling to me man! Keep grinding 🤘
We’ll take that as a compliment! Thank you for watching
@@MotorLegends-stories my bad, I edited it for better context. Great production 🤘
Subbed, keep this up and your gonna hit 100k subs in no time! glad to be apart of the first 1k
Thank you for subscribing and for watching!
Quality video man. I could’ve sworn you had way more subs
Thank you! That’s nice to hear
This is definitely one of the best videos I ever saw maybe the best. Love it keep making these times of videos cuz they are amazing.👏🏻
These are very high praises! Thank you for watching :)
Wait…. This video’s definition of “champion” is literally me! I’m 14 and I love modifying things. Right now I’ve been modifying rc cars you would find in Walmart (rebuilding the gearboxes, adding extra drive motors, increasing steering angle, etc) to make them as powerful as possible. im an inspiring mechanical engineer, and hope to work at EMD or GE on their big diesel electric locomotives someday. do I have something going here?
Potentially, we’re looking forward to creating a future video about you 🙏
Aaaaah, Deutsche gründlichkeit at work. No one can't deny this.. Took an abo without doubt, great video.
So the gearbox is not german then😂
I can’t wait to see how Audi manage to tackle Formula 1?! Just like Porsche, Audi loves a new challenge and loves dominating in whatever series they compete.
I remember reading a report about he first TDI win and the journalist said it was almost comical that this car was beating the pack with almost double the range in between pitstops, while sounding like a Jetsons spaceship while doing so. 😂
I'm impress by the quality of this video. Great story buddy. Keep it up!
Great video bro, subbed
im sure that if this experiment failed, audi would keep trying remembering what was the root and still winning after some years
You gained a sub with this one. You are criminally underrated
Thank you!
Top quality content mate. Subbed.
great video. Thank you
NO WAY YOUVE GOT LESS THAN 100K SUBS
Thanks for watching, maybe one day 💯
@@MotorLegends-stories dude youve got some seriously high quality stuff you'll get there in no time
This channel is criminally underrated. You'll be big soon
Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching :)
How do you do your research? And where do you find the right clips? I'd love to know!
Hi, these are things that can only happen when people think outside the tracks, not to mention that the whole Audi chain of command also had to take chances, very well done indeed.
It is however a pity that we see the exact opposite in the industry, where big companies are paying billions to buy little disruptive startups to In Fine close them because their product(s) were threatening their market…
Excellent video that covers everything from end to end, which is important for people who are not specialists of car races. :)
I had already watched driver61's video on this story and I wished he'd have given some more information, so thank you for the good video
1.5k subs with quality like this is wild, love it bro. respectfully your voice isn't an ai right??😭😭😭
It’s not ai 🙂 thanks for the compliments, and for watching!
I grew up with TDIs, learned to drive in a 79 Rabbit TDI, drove to uni in a 04 Passat TDI, bought a Golf wagon TDI later and even got it bought back from VW after the diesel scandal. Too bad really, but have to wonder where TDI technology would be today without that scandal. 😢
The VW group at the time used the 1.9tdi in the Seat Ibiza in the VTCC.🙂
And Audi road cars are like..... you know.
Like what? The RS6 performance?
Sitting on spectator hill at Road Atlanta for start of Petit in 2008 when Allan McNish crash the R10 in the formation lap. We sat there looking at each other saying, "There's no way that just happened, right?"
Top quality video ❤❤❤
Good video, I'ma subscribe
Thank you! 🙏
Hey man! How do i contact you.

I drive a 2015 jetta tdi and im proud of it🔥 stage 2 with 220 hp but 490nm ( 380 torque)
Good Video
What's funny is about the same time as Audi taking a TDI to LeMans I was swapping a TDI into a corrado to replace a VR6. What would be ideal would be diesel plug in hybrids but sadly diesel....
Lets thank the UA-cam algorithm once again for showing this invredible Video. How is this channel sub 5k subs?
(Btw I'd love a similar styled vid for the porsche 919)
Thank you, the 919 is on the list!
@@MotorLegends-stories 🤩
Why do I feel like James Spader is narrating this video?
There's definitely some resemblance now that you mention it haha! Thanks for watching :)
I had 2 vw tdi powered cars. An 02 jetta automatic and an 03 golf 5 speed. Now direct injection and smaller turbo charged engines are mainstream with gasoline. I have a 2021 1500 silverado with 2.7 turbo 4 cylinder and a 2017 vw jetta 1.4 tsi turbo charged direct injection engine. Tourque is in by 1500 rpms and there is plenty of power for highways. Jetta will get 52 mpg when cruising. My truck about 24 mpg on 93 octane.
If I were an executive at Audi I would have produced an Audi R8 with a high performance turbodiesel powerplant. They missed.
They made a concept car with the V12, but it never made it to production. AFAIK, they only made the Q7 V12 TDI...
And then with all this proven performance they put it in one car.... the Audi Q7 lmao. i would kill for that Q7 here in the states tho.
It wasn't the first time a Diesel dominated a 24h race. BMW managed to do the same about 10 years earlier on the Nürburgring.
Under 1k sub crew here.
Appreciated!
@@MotorLegends-storiesalready over 1k I see! Can see why, top quality videos mate, well done.
*_"Win on Sunday - Sell on Monday"_*
wait this is a 137 sub channel?? how??
Thank you for the compliment, and for watching! :)
I only noticed after reading this
Had two golf tdi back in the day .left many a boy racer in its wake in their petrol powered car...
now Audi is going to do the same thing in F1 cant wait
JCB hold the land speed record for a diesel powered vehicle at 328.7 mph ( or they did when I worked there Some years ago )
Kobe Bryant mastered the travel
The Bentley that won in 2003 was essentially an Audi R8R to commemorate Bentley's 100th anniversary. Bentley is also an Audi subsidiary...
@MotorLegends. The Daytona 24 Hours is driven during more hours of darkness than the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Well done, high level video👍 Also, impressive car. To me diesel will always be truck, ship, train engine no matter what they achieve with it. The sound it makes, seems unnatural, it smells wrong etc. Purely subjective opinion, I know.
Thanks for your kind words, completely agreed on the sound, it’s hard to beat a Petrol/gas V8 sound
imagine if they used a 1.9 TDI :O the other cars would not stand a chance
They destroyed even their costumer with 3.0 tdi power 😂
1.9 TDI Power. We know now where it comes from 😂😅❤
Imagine 2 hr LeMans Hypercar races on F1 tracks.
I didn't enjoy this era of endurance racing. I can respect this car more now with age, but it was a channel changer more than a "pin up".
At 1.8k now...
10k anytime soon
I HATED these at the time. Major respect now in retrospect
The air parted in front of it out of courtesy.
bro the music way to loud but cool vid
I'm sad about Audi... My S6 C8 (55 TDI) engine died on 70k km few days ago...
now let the others use a 5.5 V12 Turbo Petrol
The only game over would be the comical number of pit stops but thanks for playing
It had nothing to do with torque. Diesel engines benefited from some very favourable rules and this Diesel engine made more power than most of the gasoline engines it ran against. Naturally aspirated engines had smaller restrictor plates and turbocharged ones were limited to 7psi, while Diesels were allowed to run 28psi of boost. Torque was irrelevant, the Diesels were making more power, that's why they were faster. The Diesel engines were at the limit of what the materials could handle, while the gasoline engines could rev much higher and/or run much more boost and make hundreds more horsepower if not for the restrictive rule set.
Also no one ever mentions that fuel used on these Diesel engines. Shell provided the Diesel fuel for these and had a cetane rating of 70, compared to road Diesel around 50. When you inject Diesel with a cetane rating of 70 at nearly 3000psi, for all intents and purposes it behaves thermodynamically like a gasoline engine (fuel burns pretty much instantaneously). It's not like the Diesel engine in your Golf at all.
