Audi R8 is the most environmentally friendly sportscar

Le Mans: The Audi R8, the most successful Le Mans Prototype ever, has received another award: At the headquarters of the French Automobile Club (ACF), Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich accepted the "Trophee pour l'Ecologie".

For the first time in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most environmentally friendly sportscar was awarded this prize. Deciding factors were, in this case, the fuel consumption during the race in relation to the vehicle's weight and average speed and also the lowest possible engine noise. Thanks to the ground breaking TFSI technology, the three Audi R8 prototypes which competed at Le Mans this year, impressively occupied the first three positions of the new classification.<ul><li><a href="http://www.paddocktalk.com/news/html/modules.php?op=modload&amp;name=News&amp;file=arti cle&amp;sid=24592">http://www.paddocktalk.com/news/html/modules.php?op=modload&amp;name=News&amp;file=arti cle&amp;sid=24592</a></li></ul>

And already the confusion begins, I thought this would be about the AU714.
