Audi R8 e-tron
The Audi R8 e-tron will go on sale in select markets by the end of 2012 ( don’t worry the United States is one of them). To keep the buzz around the electric sports car, Audi has entered the R8 e-tron in the Silvretta E-Auto Rally Montafon 2010.
Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development, and Audi driver Lukas Luhr will drive the electric R8 e-tron along 104.08 mile route through the Austrian state of Vorarlberg.
“We already received very good feedback on the Audi R8 e-tron in Le Mans,” says Michael Dick, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Technical Development. “In Montafon, the e-tron will put its potential to the test in ten different mountain, valley and timed special stages. This is a good opportunity to showcase Audi’s integrated approach and to experience the fascination of electromobility in a sports car on the road.”
Refresher: The Audi e-tron concept is powered by four electric motors – two each at the front and rear axles – producing 313-hp and a maximum torque of 3,319 lb-ft of torque (501.5 lb-ft in real world terms). 0 to 62 mph comes in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 124 mph. Driving range equals 154 miles on a full charge.
