Audi is bringing
the striking E-Tron GT concept at Geneva for its European debut, which will be
displayed alongside the new Q4 E-Tron concept, the E-Tron SUV and its Coupe
sibling, the E-Tron Sportback. Audi’s stand at the upcoming Geneva show will be
an electrified-only affair, showcasing no less than four battery-electric
vehicles, as well as four new plug-in hybrid versions of its existing lineup.
In addition, the
German manufacturer also announced the reveal of the all-electric Q2 L E-Tron in
a few weeks in China, as well as the series-production versions of the E-Tron
GT and Q4 E-Tron in 2020. The E-Tron Sportback SUV Coupe is going to be
unveiled in its final production guise later in 2019.
For 2019, Audi is
introducing the plug-in hybrid technology in pretty much every model in the
lineup, including the new A6, A7, A8 and Q5 and the updated A3 and Q7.
As the flagship of
Audi’s upcoming EV range, the seductive E-Tron GT will share the same
architecture and battery pack with the Porsche Taycan, as well as its 800-volt
system that allows super fast charging. The Audi E-Tron GT concept comes with a
combined power output of 582 hp, with the company claiming a 0-100 km/h in 3.5 seconds and a 0-200 km/h in just over 12 seconds.
While the exact driving range hasn’t been revealed yet, Audi expects the E-Tron
GT to travel over 400 km on a full charge.
