Combining Audi’s core brand pillars of efficiency and performance with breathtaking design and next-generation technology, the Audi e-tron is the future. Four motors – two each at the front and rear axles – drive the wheels, making the concept car a true quattro. Producing 230 kW, the two-seater accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, and from 60 to 120 km/h in 4.1 seconds. The lithium-ion battery provides a truly useable energy content of 42.4 kilowatt hours to enable a range of approximately 248 kilometres. The Audi e-tron first stunned the world when it was revealed at the IAA in Frankfurt in 2009 and highlighted Audi’s future-thinking in electro-mobility.
Those impressive performance figures are by no means the only evidence of the consistent and holistic strategy. The design makes it clear that the e-tron belongs in the major leagues of sports cars, and the package takes into account the specific realities of an electric vehicle. The battery is directly behind the passenger cabin for an optimal center of gravity and axle load distribution.
The e-tron is able to freely distribute the powerful torque of its four electric motors to the wheels as required. This so-called torque vectoring allows for dazzling dynamics and an incredible agility and precision when cornering.
