Design and technical

The Audi Le Mans quattro has a number of high-technology features, including the

spoiler

that raises at 70 mph (110 km/h).

The Le Mans quattro featured the

magneto rheological dampers, also installed in the latest TT, which gives the car a firmer and more responsive drive and improved handling characteristics. In Audi tradition, the car features quattro permanent four-wheel drive

to optimise traction and handling.

The Le Mans quattro's engine was a development of the Gallardo's, with the same displacement but using different cylinder heads and twin-turbochargers and Fuel Stratified Injection technology, resulting in the high output of 449 kW (610 PS; 602 hp), and 750 N⋅m (553 lb⋅ft) of torque. The transmission is the six-speed automated manual transmission that was also shared with the Gallardo and developed by Volkswagen.
