The Audi drive to the circuit

On its news page, the ACO has released details of the proposed presentation of the new Audi and a drive by Tom Kristensen from La Place des Jacobins to the Circuit.

Sixty years ago, this would have been possible. but I have always understood that modern racing engines can't manage the necessary low speed (vide the Joest Porsche 956 at the 1986 race). So, my question is:

Is the Audi engine somehow different? or is the car Tom K will use a de-tuned version?
