Audi’s first all-electric model has been
spotted testing on public roads for the first time and unsurprisingly it looks
a lot like the 2015 concept.
Audi says that the e-tron and the rumored Q6 will be
two different models, with the former being based on a new, bespoke for EVs
architecture that Porsche is also going to use for the production version of
the Mission E.
We still don’t know the specifics of the electric
powertrain the production E-Tron is going to use but we do know that the
concept used three electric motors (one at the front and two at the rear) for a
total output of 429 hp and over 800 Nm of torque. There was also an
“overboost” function that pushed power up to 496 hp for short periods of time.
The concept also used a 95kWh battery pack that
allowed it to travel over 310 miles (500km) on a single charge, which sounds
more than adequate to most of us. Audi
is planning to introduce the all-electric E-Tron to the market in 2018, so
expect more information in the coming months.
