With the R8R, Audi entered the Le Mans 24-hour race for the first time in 1999. As a newcomer to the event, the premium brand placed its trust in a V8 biturbo engine with 3.6-liter displacement, finishing third and fourth. Audi Tradition is presenting the R8R on the paternoster along with 13 further Le Mans racing cars with the four rings. Their chain of victories remained practically unbroken from 2000 to 2014.
