Pre-owned plastic model kit.

The Audi R10 TDI (another designation: Audi R10) is a German racing car that was first presented to the public in 2005 and started in its first race a year later. He participated in races until 2010. The vehicles were assembled at the plants in Ingolstadt, Germany.

The R10 TDI model was created to replace the great R8 on the racetracks and to meet the competition that emerged after the change of the ACO regulations for the 24 Hours of the Le Mans race. Externally, the R10 is very similar to its predecessor, but has improved aerodynamics and a longer wheelbase. The body is self-supporting (so-called monocoque), made mainly of carbon fiber, thanks to which the car weighs only 935 kilograms, which means that its weight is similar to ... the modern Fiat 500! The biggest change, however, took place in the power unit - the Audi R10 TDI was powered by a powerful 12-cylinder engine with two turbochargers with a capacity of 5.5 liters. The Audi R10 TDI execution, production and racing program was very expensive - estimated at $ 15 million a year - but more than fruitful. In the period 2006-2018, the Audi R10 TDI took part in 48 races, of which as many as 36 won! Moreover, in 2006, 2007 and 2008 the drivers on it won the world championship titles. Without a doubt, the Audi R10 was one of the best racing cars of the early 2000s.
