Stunning Audi E-Tron Electric Makes a Pre-Frankfurt Cameo
By Chris Weiss
Providing a further development in Audi’s “Electricity Untamed” campaign, renderings of a new Audi electric concept have leaked out ahead of Frankfurt. Despite past proclamations by management of the superiority of diesel over electrics, Audi will be debuting the e-Tron at Frankfurt–in around 17 1/2 hours at last count. The renderings below show an awe-inspiring vehicle based largely on the R8 supercar. Some of the most unique and eye-catching aspects of the vehicle are the places where it splits from the R8′s styling–namely, the striking front end with closed grill and c-shaped LED headlights and the fashionable, multi-spoke wheels. Inside a driver-centric cockpit includes both rear view and navigation LCD screens. Details on the powertrain remain unavailable, but we’ll undoubtedly be hearing a lot more about this one shortly.
