5sp manual
Chassis no. 1 features the same, highly special 5-cylinder 25-valve engine as seen with the 5000 CS Talladega. Without too much technical information, I consider such engine(s) as a development issued variant in the evolution of Audi’s signature turbocharged 5-cylinders.
Delivering 650 hp at 6200 rpms by 2.0 BAR of boost from a KKK K28, similar spec applied to the other two prototypes, although running 20V.
Making an average speed record attempt, any pit stop impacts the numners. Thus, the 340L fuel cell is fed through aviation style ports, and a fresh stint was prepared with change of driver, engine oil and tires, in only 25 seconds.
Astounding as they are, the results are still seen in FIA’s listings of 1988:
The 500 km distance recorded an average of 332,317 km/h, the 1000 km distance an average of 324,404 km/h !
