Audi confirms R18 hybrid as part of 2012 endurance racing program

The diesel era at Le Mans may not be over yet, but already we're seeing the emergence of a new propulsion trend: hybrids. Toyota recently announced the TS030 Hybrid LMP1, Peugeot was working on a hybrid version of its 908 prototype before it killed the race program, and now Audi has confirmed a hybrid version of the R18 TDI. Few details were released, but what we can tell you is that Audi will field four cars at Le Mans this year: two with hybrid assist and two without.
