Audi R8 e-tron hits the road
The Audi R8 e-tron has hit roads in Germany at the beginning of a development program that aims to have the all-electric, four-wheel drive supercar on sale by the end of 2012.
Very much a toe in the water exercise on the way to the establishment of more volume orientated zero emission e-tron badged models, the R8 e-tron is planned to be built individually to order in a limited run of no more than 1000 units.

Quote from the article:
Pricing of the new two seater has not yet been revealed. However, Audi officials say it will cost more than the R8 V8, which sells for £82,555 in the UK. By way of comparison, the similarly-conceived Lotus Elise based Telsa roadster retails here for £86,950. The prototype version of the R8 e-tron captured here undergoing testing on public roads for the very first time adheres closely to the original concept wheeled out at last year’s Frankfurt with a shape highly reminiscent of existing V8 and V10 petrol powered versions of Audi’s performance flagship. |
