However, Audi sources say
a series of changes, including unique engines and electromagnetic dampers, will provide the Le Mans with a ‘vastly different character’ to the Gallardo’s.

Translation:
The final product will be so clinically refined that it will be like driving in a VW Passat - only faster...

This new creation from Quattro GmbH the Le Mans supercar is more and more materialized. In spite of new very promising V10 naturally aspirated engine, I will have preferred the show car’s 610bhp twin-turbocharged 5.0-litre V10. 
No doubt that it will be a great supercar this upcoming Le Mans.

Yeah, I cant say I understand the need to make a "Gallardo based, 911 market chaser audi...." So let me get this straight.... the company that owns both porsche and Lambo is trying to make a car to compete with the Gallardo and the 911............................ hell if its a sucsess maybe they can use the chance to make a fast VW under the giuse "its made to compete with the likes of the 911 and the LeMans!"
:roll: :roll: :roll:
cool car though....

Well, I really doubt that any car with a Mid mounted V-10 with pricing above 80k would not be a Gallardo Compeditor, but that is un important. What does seem interesting is that, audi owns porsche..... why mess with the 911's sales? I mean Im all for a new sports car... but I cant say it makes sence from a business stand point.
