Audi’s e-tron project is like Daimler’s E-Cell.
They started out with a sportscar prototype and are now expanding it.
Now as it turns out there’s a Spyder e-tron as well which will debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show.
The car is an evolution of the e-tron system.



The e-tron Spyder is actually very clever and equally boring to explain!
Apparently here’s how it works: the front wheels of the car are driven by the electric motors which provide a range of 50 km on a single charge.



But the car also has a 3.0 liter V6 TDI which drives the back wheels.
So it’s actually four-wheel-drive when all motors are working and delivering full power.



The body of the car will be a blend of carbon fiber and aluminum while the suspension, steering and brakes come from the regular Audi R8.

 

Danm, just when you think the R8 was enough to drool over when it passes by, now this looks interesting, who knows this could even be whats to come for the R4

 

I've love the coupe, I'll love the spyder!

Too bad e-tron sounds like a word that means poop in french!
