Did the Audi E-Tron Concept capture your attention at the Frankfurt Motor Show? If so, we’ve got some good news. Two weeks after the German auto show, company sources have announced that the R8-looking e-Tron is going to hit production lines soon and should be on the road in about 24 months.
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.
