Audi to build e-Tron Electric Sports Car

2009-10-07T08:35:00.000-07:00

High-powered clean energy vehicles seemed to be the big story of this years Frankfurt Motor Show. Mercedes (gullwing), BMW (Vision EfficientDynamics) (and the already established Tesla) both announced models based on new technology.

Audi were never going to be left behind their competitors and themselves announced their e-Tron electric sports car concept. The specs on this car are quite amazing for an electric vehicle:

Lithium-ion battery providing useable energy content of 42.4 kilowatt hours
A range of approximately 248KM.
Four motors - Producing 230 kW (313 hp) and 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 lb-ft) of torque
0 to 62.4mph - 4.8 seconds

You can read more @autopia over on Wired.com and from the official Audi e-Tron webpage.

What's most exciting about all this is that today Audi has confirmed that it is putting this car into production - Johan de Nysschen, Audi America President has said that he expects to see running examples in around 2 years time! All very exciting im sure you'll agree, it will certainly be interesting to see how close Audi will remain to it's original concept.

This new A5 Sportback is really splitting opinion however - we really can't make our mind up. From certain angles it has presence and appeal whilst from others (the side profile) it looks a bit like a Citroen! What do you reckon?

Here's some videos that feature a closer look:
