Video shows Audi R18 'long tail' e-tron quattro's blistering Monza run

Audi has had a pretty solid run at the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the past decade, but we're glad they keep pushing the envelope.

So I probably can’t afford an Audi A1 Quattro, and I might never see one – what am I missing out on?
