• The Audi e-tron Concept

    When you look at the e-tron, it closely resembles the R8, body-wise. But it is full stop there. The 3320 lb-ft of torque is brought out by four electric motors. Can your R8 do that? Well it is not a car from some science-fiction story! But hell yeah, James Bond can look into this car for his next mission! The speed is electronically limited to 124 miles an hour and it has a total range of 154 miles from the lithium ion battery pack. But it is the Quattro setup that gives the e-tron its Audi style and sense. The R8 is capable of distributing power to whatever corner the torque-vectoring management system determines is appropriate. It also has the advanced MMI which includes a fold-out central display with all the multimedia functions integrated into a touch-sensitive surface on the steering wheel. This is one car I am looking forward to see commercialized.
