Here’s a video from Audi Motorsport looking back at the successful 2012 season that its R8 LMS ultra has enjoyed.

Released in March of this year, the ultra features new CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) doors, an Audi-developed PS1 safety seat, an even wider rear wing and hood with optional vents, depending on homologation rules. Other changes include larger coolers for the engine oil and transmission fluid, enlarged sideblades, and improved front brake cooling.

Power comes from the company’s 5.2-litre V10 which can produce up to 419 kW (570 hp), depending on the specific competition’s restrictor regulations.
