The downforce under braking is far removed from that of any existing Audi road car and there’s no ABS to rely on, so getting the braking right from high speeds is probably the trickiest thing. With a quattro four- wheel-drive system providing variable drive distribution between the front and rear axles as well as the individual rear wheels, the car is claimed to accelerate from 0-62mph in 2.5sec and reach a restricted 140mph. Therefore, the usage of CO2 emission values measured according to WLTP for vehicle taxation from 1st September 2018 on can cause changes in this regards as well. You have to hit the pedal with proper force, then gradually back out as the downforce fades.

The Audi delivers so much confidence from the steering and outright front-end grip that you can carry terrific speed though corners. Experience our vision of mobility and let yourself be inspired. Are you as passionate about cars as we are? In our development laboratory motorsport, we are continuously expanding our expertise in e-mobility and gathering valuable experience also in extremely demanding conditions. For the sake of higher safety, the driver can only get in and out of the car through the side window.

Auto Show, The Audi E-Tron Prototype is the Not-so-Cool Successor to the E-Tron Quattro Concept. There’s a rather idiosyncratic starting procedure to perform: a nudge of the brakes, then the press of a button placed within the drive selection controls down on the floor to the left of the driver’s seat to prime the electrics before you press the drive button.

This powerful 720-hp (530-kW) racing car was driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck (pictured left), Walter Röhrl (pictured right), Hurley Haywood and Scott Goodyear. Audi designers created the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo for the “Vision Gran Turismo” competition that was launched on the market on the occasion of the popular game’s 15th anniversary. Hopefully it’ll become more adventurous. As the "e-tron" badge suggests, the Vision Gran Turismo concept is all-electric. Its performance: from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, top speed of 310km/h and maximum torque of 720 newton metres. Albeit, sportiness, a powerful structure and clarity: this unmistakable spirit exuded by any Audi had to be embodied by the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo as well. The new Audi doesn’t so much as gather speed but pile it on all at once in a seamless and instantaneous surge. We should all be so lucky. Many of these concept cars were subsequently built as full-scale models as well and presented at trade shows. The former Audi factory driver from Italy and the Swiss ex-DTM driver Rahel Frey provide customers and guests with a live, real-world experience of electric mobility on the track in Audi’s first all-electric race taxi.

The programme of the brand with the four rings currently includes FIA Formula E, DTM and customer racing. The e-tron Vision Gran Turismo looks unique and familiar at the same time. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Three electric motors, each delivering 200 kW, make this possible. I first see the new coupé up close at the end of a row of garages at Audi’s Neuburg test track facility on the outskirts of Ingolstadt. With the four-door saloon that evolved into a touring car Audi retained its original colour concept for racing: white as the basic colour of the bodywork. Even more savage than its accelerationis the braking. There’s not much feel in the pedal itself, and its travel is quite short. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. However, on the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO they’re even longer and wider than on the rally cars with which Audi had begun its modern-day motorsport commitment in 1981.
