This is exactly what we’ve been trying to feed into the DTM’s safety concept together with our colleagues from BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

It is powered by a <b>V8 engine</b> mated to six-speed transmission, now pneumatically operated using paddle shifters in the steering wheel. The shifting events are more precise compared with conventional manual gearshifts and allow the mileage of the unit to be quadrupled to up to 24,000 kilometers. The whole setup delivers a total of 460 HP. The <b>race car</b> has also received a safety fuel tank with a capacity of 120 liters integrated with the carbon fiber cell of the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept that allows the current distance of a <b>DTM race</b> to be covered without a refueling stop.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653904593516418994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbSV9yGLdOEyA6JV99romAnW0V5M1MPBzBf4iTEJ8s8_AsYf5kT703Z5u4cLlIyCTovGLcj-5GeEbZwr2jUf4ZLgM6RO9-mYqmebL1FUygK_f_SsKx-hV3fSaXK7sNiTCccU6U_xp134w/s400/Audi-Sport-Cars-Concept-Audi-A5-DTM-3.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></b><b>Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, it’s under the skin that the biggest changes have been made. The new rules have been designed to cut costs (the main reason that BMW has re-joined the series) but also to make the cars even safer. Which means a carbonfibre monocoque (with an integrated fuel tank) and steel roll cage, together with sidewalls made of a carbon, Zylon and Rohacell hybrid, as <span style="font-weight: bold;">the new DTM racers</span> now have to be able to withstand a static load that is four times higher than before. And rather than just the front and rear crash elements of each <span style="font-weight: bold;">DTM car</span> being individually crash-tested, the whole vehicle is now fired against a wall to make sure the entire structure is up to scratch.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653904588467114338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttCPcTOQ0nuuvNEd5S0Mh_Hyi92QkGQriMG7TxfsnBnZVSD1U0t8kEDVfaYwRjOFRxuRle-pdxaK5edb5wnjHdHN9bRzy8F1_089C-h4JzZnSxxb483DIJqO8fICXnAwmPveMZGySamA/s400/Audi-Sport-Cars-Concept-Audi-A5-DTM-1.jpg" style="display: block; height: 300px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></b><b>Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept</b><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Given the rules of DTM racers, which all have to <b>sport</b> certain identical features such as the 2,750 mm (108 inches) wheelbase, Audi was able to lower costs on the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept development by up to 40 percent. The model will be homologated for March 1st and will compete in the <b>2012 DTM series</b> against German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz. While the renderings show a pre-facelift model, Audi says the production vehicle will closely resemble the 2012 A5 Coupe which is slated to go on sale later this year. Audi has shared a trio of renderings of the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept but we’ll get the chance to see the real thing at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September.</div>
