The fourth-generation Audi A4 DTM, which bears the project name “R14” internally at Audi Sport, is also futuristic from the technical aspect. With the help of state-of-the-art CFD calculations (Computational Fluid Dynamics) particular attention was paid to the air flow running around and through the car. The A4 DTM is a thoroughbred race car with the silhouette of the new Audi A4. The chassis has a hybrid concept.
The bodywork is made from carbon-fibre composite and is – in spite of all the aerodynamic gadgets – immediately identifiable at first glance as an Audi A4. The distinctive brand styling-elements like the Single Frame grille and the white LED daytime low-beam lights ensure that the face of the A4 DTM has the same unique look like the road going model.
Defending champion Mattias Ekström, who unveiled his new company car in Geneva together with his boss, prefers not to make any predictions at the moment: “If the new A4 DTM is as quick as it looks then I’ll be satisfied, “ says the Swede diplomatically.
