On Audi’s test track in Neuburg an der Donau, we documented the collaboration between SGL Carbon and Audi on the development of a new carbon rear structure for the Audi R8.

Produced within a single day, the film focuses on the people behind the engineering. At its center: developer Thomas Vielsecker, offering insight into the process, challenges, and precision required to bring high-performance carbon components into automotive production.

Set in a controlled yet demanding environment, the film captures the intersection of material innovation and applied engineering — reduced to what matters.
