An R8 that's friendly to the environment?
Last week I posted about Audi’s Electricity Untamed microsite, which was rumored to be a teaser for a new electric vehicle from Audi. Although Audi planned to unveil the vehicle at the Frankfurt Motor Show this morning, details have leaked ahead of schedule.
The e-Tron appears to be based off the R8, though it features an updated rear end and a redesigned grille, while losing the iconic side blades of the original R8. Inside, the e-Tron features a driver-focused interior, with the controls and displays confined to the driver’s side of the dash.
While the design of the car is interesting, the real news will come from the powertrain Audi has developed for the vehicle. At this point, there is no information available regarding the electric capabilities of the e-Tron. Fortunately, Audi’s press conference is scheduled for early afternoon today in Frankfurt.
