Audi has a Le Mans Diesel Challenger, Peugeot

http://www.endurance-info.com/articl...d=3032&thold=0

The 5.5-liter twin-turbo diesel is all-aluminum and utilizes common-rail direct-injection. It's twelve cylinders are arranged in a 100-degree V, for a lower center of gravity. The engine should be good for more than 700hp in race trim. Like the championship-winning R10 TDI from Audi, this diesel should provide a lot of torque and improved fuel economy over a gas engine. The oil-burner channels its power through a six-speed electro-pneumatic gearbox and a self-locking electronic differential.

Interesting that the two companies choose to run with diesel engines rather than gasoline or alcohol engines. It will be interesting to see where the research takes them.

Maybe Audi will finally have to do some racing because right now they are in a league of their own.
