Audi Racer has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
If you put 2 and 2 together you might say the r18 will be a V6 TDI closed coupe with the porsche flywheel kers on it.

2 and 2 being,
2. Porsche testing the flywheel at petit lemans -porsche audi linkage
+
2. The three audi guys racing the hybrid.
Of course the quickest way for audi to test a hybrid is to throw it into the back of old reliable(the porsche)
They want to see what potential issues could be such as the tire blowouts the porsche had and fix the issues now. Ver smart by volkswagen group sharing the knowledge.

Something tells me that Williams flywheel will be a hot commodity in the coming years in multiple series since it does not need the battery,Some series i see it in are, indycar, DTM, Grandam, Lemans, F1
