If you have yet to hear the latest news about the electrifying R8 e-Tron, this promising electric supercar project from Audi was put on hold and put under review. Due to the high battery costs and the performance when compared to an existing yet less expensive electric car like Tesla’s Model S sedan, Audi’s newly-appointed head of R&D Wolfgang Durheimer decided to put the project on hold for the time being.
Remember the SLS AMG Coupe Electric Drive? This latest green supercar released by Mercedes had really impressed us with the numbers, with a reported 740-horsepower and 1,000Nm of torque coming out from its four electric motors. Although the top speed had to be limited to 250km/h, acceleration from 0-100 only takes 3.9 seconds.
Enjoy watching a high-performance car tearing up a circuit with a record-breaking lap time? While the Audi R8 E-Tron might have set the fastest lap record around the Nurburgring for a production electric vehicle (EV), the footage is nothing similar to the others that we have seen before as it is missing one of the key element that makes a video outstanding; the roar of the engine.
The future of the automobile is here, Audi has officially told Autoweek that the e-tron concept car will soon become a full production model. Audi of America President Johan de Nysschen said he expects to see some running examples of the e-tron within the next 24 months.
