what parts is just plain wrong. The fact its a production V6 block.
Easy to be rude without presenting any additional 2012 facts
the two I have underlined in your post.
So which Audi V6 production engine uses an 120° cylinder angle then?
You make the claims, you should be the one to provide the data to prove it - No?
Nothing to do with being rude.
to hold up my side of the bargain, for the engine:
However, Audi does not only surprise with its extremely compact engine. The concept is also innovative for an LMP1 sports car. To lower the center of gravity as much as possible and to improve airflow through the car, the exhaust manifolds were migrated from the left and right hand sides of the engine to sit between the two cylinder banks. “Hot side inside” is the name given to this concept by specialists, which was implemented in similar form in Formula 1 in the 1980s. But the V6 TDI engine powering the Audi R18 TDI, which has a cylinder angle of 120 degrees and thus an extremely low center of gravity, is technically generations further along the line and is also a technology-demonstrator for future production engines.
and for where the chassis is produced, and which company is involved in the gearbox development:
Chassis: Carbon fibre monocoque (Dallara)
Class: LMP1
Engine: Audi Twin turbo 3700cc V6
Fuel: Diesel
Transmission: Xtrac 6spd sequential

Nothing wrong or unusual with all that, pretty normal "modi operandi" for any prototype race car.
But no need to make any unsustainable and wrong claims, to advance once own opinion about another organization.
You are free to think whatever you like, and to express and hold whatever opinion you fancy, no problem whatsoever.
But if you present something as "fact", which is just not true, then you have to be prepared that people call you up on it.
It's a technical forum after all, and what you put forward is technically wrong, that's all.
So, your turn now, to prove your statements.
