Audi all but screamed “we’re building an electric car” when it launched that “Electricity Untamed” micrositelast week, and it looks like the car has broken cover ahead of the Frankfurt auto show.
WorldCarFans.com got ahold of some renderings of the e-Tron concept. No one has any details on the drivetrain, and Audi isn’t confirming the car exists. Whatever it is, it’s based on the R8, with slight tweaks to the front and rear end, the elimination of the R8’s distinctive side blades and some wild wheels. We don’t see any air intakes or exhaust outlets, further lending credence to speculation it’s an electric vehicle.Motor Trend has some renderings of the interior, which has a minimalist aesthetic.
We’ve got mixed emotions about the e-Tron. Although it is gorgeous, we’re wondering why Audi doesn’t unveil something a little more realistic and practical. More details as soon as Audi has something to say.
