The Audi E-Tron Sportback Is the Electric Car We?ve Always Wanted
Audi unveils a futuristic EV concept with expansive touch-sensitive screens inside and mini digital matrix projectors to "paint" the road.
Watch out Tesla, the road leading to an all-electric vehicle future is about to get a little more crowded. The Audi E-Tron Sportback concept rolled out as the belle of the 2017 Shanghai Motor Show ball, a near-realized concept vehicle designed to represent the German automaker’s EV plans for 2018 and beyond.
The electric fastback arrives with an aggressive posture sitting upon massive 23-inch alloys wheels, with specs to match: 496bhp and 590lb ft of torque, good for 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds performance, a very respectable range of 311 miles between charges, and a future forward “Virtual Cockpit” that replaces a traditional console design with tastefully executed touchscreen surfaces and haptic feedback throughout. The E-Tron Sportback’s three electric motors are powered by a liquid cooled 95-kWh lithium-ion battery, good for 429 horsepower and a 311 mile range.
Our Audi E-Tron will be starting out in 2018 ? the first electric car in its competitive field that is fit for everyday use. Following close on its heels, in 2019, comes the production version of the Audi e-tron Sportback ? an emotional coup̩ version that is thrillingly identifiable as an electric car at the very first glance.
