Art & Revs sells a third Legendary AUDI LMP1
December 2023
Art & Revs’ CEO Florent MOULIN is very proud to announce the sale of a third AUDI LMP1.
After selling an R8 and an R18, we have just sold one of the only two R10s in private hands. Chassis 201 was raced by Audi Sport Team Joest in 2007 and by AUDI Sport North America in 2008 before competing two years in a row at Le Mans with Team Kolles.

With its V12 5.5 liter engine this is the very last « Titan » to ever compete at Le Mans before the downsizing times which led to the Hybrid era.
This Le Mans legend was brought to Art & Revs after a 6 year break from competition for a full service and recommission. We checked everything thoroughly to make sure that the car would run perfectly. Once the work was completed, it fired up immediately after the warming up procedure and we decided to run it on track.
The car lapped perfectly and displayed all of its speed but also its good manners. It simply flies onto the straights thanks to the Herculean power and torque of the engine. This sensation you can only feel at the wheel of a LMP1 diesel powered car, bearing no comparison with a petrol engined LMP.
This stunning AUDI R10 chassis 201 has now joined an important car collection in South America but we will still continue to look after it.
Art & Revs is not only a highly respected company involved in the acquisition and sale of prestigious classic and race cars but also renowned for its restoration and preparation capabilities in its comprehensive workshop facilities. This activity is complemented by involvement on the track with Iconic Racing.
Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your classic car projects.
