Audi to Produce Electric Supercar
What a sweet ride!
Audi has confirmed that they will build a production version of its e-tron electric supercar concept, likely to be called the R4. The zero-emissions sports car could hit the road as early as 2011 and may have a gasoline-powered version as well. The smaller sibling of the R8 has not been given a price tag as of yet, but it is likely that it will slot in above the TT.
The concept version had electric motors on all four wheels and could sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.8 seconds. Its lithium-ion battery pack, which was positioned where the engine would go on petrol versions, could be recharged from a domestic power point in about eight hours and had a range of about 250km. Audi is developing a rapid-charging option that can recharge the battery in about two-and-a-half hours. It’s also working on a home-based wireless charging system where the car starts re-charging as soon as it is driven into the garage.
