The new Batmobile? Maybe Don works for Audi now and the engine is under the front?
The #1 names could be Leena's sister? |

The current 2013 R18 names are Jody Summer (#1), Bertram (#2) and Nike (#3). The 2012 #1 car's name was Electra, the 2011 #2 car was called Red Sonja

Well, the best way to talk about Audi R18s in the future is calling their nicknames probably.

Width has changed for overall car, how the car will look with some normal pics we have to see yet as this picture is so deceiving to make the car look angry but i doubt it will look so on track. How is it actually with pics, arent they testing at sebring? Nobody got some shots sofar? |

It's private testing
Someone went to the track but was asked to leave so pics are probably unlikely |

A lot of them have day jobs, and it also seems that Audi are more virulent than usual with asking for a closed track, which means asking peeping toms to leave.
That, though easier said than done with the location of Sebring Raceway, is still easier than at Monza, which is part of a public part, and readily accessible by the public--which is why we get so many videos and photos from tests at Monza. I don't think that Audi want anything substantial to leak before the 18th. We also have to remember that the photo released by Audi is distorted because of the 50mm narrow angle lens used. Again, don't expect any good photos until the 18th. |

My gosh, man, that's 8 days! These are the days of the Internet and instant gratification, not the old days where we had to wait 6 weeks for a magazine to come out with the latest photos! How are we going to wait that long?

Of course, if Audi were testing at Monza as Porsche already have, we'd have photos and videos, because of Monza being part of a public park complex. But Audi have tested twice in Europe (video footage suggest Paul Ricard as a potential suspect there), and now at Sebring.
I'd bet that Audi have their own photo and video crews there to take preview photos and videos when it comes time to release the new R18 "for real" in about a week. But the teaser photo obviously is just that because of it being distorted with that wide angle lens. Probably to prevent comparisons with the "old" R18 from last year. |

Camo vs. camo, the P-car is actually prettier.

Yeah me too. I think Audi and Porsche have the same vinyl wrap supplier.
Unlucky enough, the picture Simmi has posted is in the subscription part of Autosport. When I click the link, I can read the article, but I cannot enlarge the pictures at the bottom. |

Looks really weird. In the middle it's the exhaust? But on the right, what's that?

That's a very nice way of integrating the exhaust outlet(s). Much "cleaner" that Porsche's asymmetric solution Last edited by MyNameIsNigel; 11 Dec 2013 at 13:52. |

Mhm ok, but what's the thing under the right exhaust? Air jack connector? Looks different for me.

Not much from what I've heard and could read. In this article (in German) of motorsport-total.com, it is reported that the initial tests by Porsche and Audi show that the LMP1s will still be very quick:
