These total up to 10 g/km or 0.38 l/100 km in the 2.0 TDI (150 kW, front-wheel drive/quattro) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km (62.1 mi): 5.6-4.7 (42.0-50.0 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km: 147-124 (236.6-199.6 g/mi); CO₂ class: E–D ) and up to 17 g/km or 0.74 l/100 km in the V6 3.0 TFSI (270 kW, quattro) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km (62.1 mi): 7.9-7.4 (29.8-31.8 US mpg); combined CO₂ emissions in g/km: 180-167 (289.7-268.8 g/mi); CO₂ class: G–F) up (in the WLTP driving cycle)1. The PTG can also add up to 18 kW (24 PS) of electric power to the output of the combustion engine. When decelerating, the PTG feeds energy back into the battery (recuperation) at up to 25 kW. As a result, purely electric maneuvering and parking are possible to a limited extent. Thanks to the option of using an electric air conditioning compressor, the air conditioning system can also be operated when the vehicle is stopped at traffic lights and the combustion engine is switched off. With the integrated and blending-capable brake control system (iBRS), the brake pedal and the brake hydraulics can be completely decoupled. In models with the MHEV plus system, for example, it achieves the necessary deceleration without using the friction brakes thanks to regenerative braking. This means that deceleration is initially achieved solely by recuperation. The friction brakes only kick in when the brake pedal is pressed harder. The brake feel remains unaffected by this. Motors at market launch The efficient engines in the Audi A5 family cover a wide range: from the conventionally powered entry-level model to the comfortable long-distance runner and the dynamic sports car. The packages of engines, transmissions, the degree of electrification and type of drivetrain are geared towards the expectations of our customers.

The fleet consisted of six Audi Q7, five Audi Q5, three Audi R8 V10, three Audi RS 6 Avant, two Audi TTRS, two Audi S4 Avant and two Audi RS 5 cars. Audi “factory” driver Timo Scheider celebrated his Le Mans debut at the wheel of a GT2 Porsche. The two-time DTM Champion regularly visited the Audi Sport Team Joest. A special service was offered to the fans by Audi tv: At www.audi.tv it was possible to follow the Le Mans 24 Hours live from the cockpits of the three Audi R15 TDI cars. All three vehicles were equipped with on-board cameras. About 300 Audi employees experienced the Le Mans 24 Hours at the Audi Camp – including a barbecue, Football live TV and music from the Band “Moscitos”. Oliver Jarvis, who drove an Audi R10 TDI of the private Kolles team at Le Mans, was awarded the “Rookie of the year” trophy for being the fastest newcomer in qualifying. Frank Biela and Lucas Luhr worked as Co-Commentators for Eurosport at Le Mans. Biela experienced an unpleasant surprise on Saturday morning when he discovered that thieves had broken into his Audi RS 6 during the night and stolen personal items. Oliver Jarvis was also the victim of thieves: Just before the warm-up session, the DTM driver realized that his complete racing gear was stolen. The Briton had to borrow equipment from his fellow drivers at Audi Sport Team Joest.

Starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 12, this goal will primarily be in the hands of the three driver teams: Dindo Capello (Italy), Le Mans record winner Tom Kristensen (Denmark) and Allan McNish (Scotland), who achieved Audi’s eighth Le Mans victory in 2008 and finished third in 2009, will take turns at the wheel of the “number 7” Audi R15 TDI. “Number 8” will be driven by three new signings: Marcel Fässler (Switzerland), André Lotterer (Germany) and Benoît Treluyer (France). The squad of “number 9” is formed by the two Porsche “factory” drivers Timo Bernhard (Germany) and Romain Dumas (France) plus DTM driver Mike Rockenfeller (Germany). Audi Sport Team Joest has been on location at Le Mans since Wednesday (June 2). The drivers will arrive on Sunday. The public scrutineering of the three Audi R15 TDI cars with chassis numbers R15-202 (#7), R15-203 (#8) and R15-204 (#9) is scheduled for late Monday afternoon. In free practice from 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday the Audi R15 TDI cars will be completing their first laps on the 13.629-kilometer “Circuit des 24 Heures” at which there are no testing opportunities outside the race week. On Wednesday night (10 p.m. to midnight) and on Thursday night (7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight) a total of three qualifying sessions will determine the grid positions, which at Le Mans tend to be of lesser importance, though. Before the race starts at 3 p.m. on Saturday the organizer, the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), will offer the spectators a glimpse of the future of the automobile. As part of this program, an Audi-e-tron electric vehicle will do a demo lap on the circuit. “Downsizing, energy recovery and electric mobility, as well, will play a major part in future events of the Le Mans 24 Hours,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. “I can’t imagine a better platform for Audi than this unique race.”
