Audi E-tron spotted

The electric supercar revolution is here! The  production prototype of the Audi E-tron has been seen testing in Germany  has been spied testing in Germany and here is the picture to prove it.just weeks before Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division launches its electric SLS.

This comes just a few weeks before Mercedes-Benz AMG launches the electric SLS. Now the race between the two German brands to dominate the electric supercar market heats up.

There are some major differences from the traditional supercar, for instance the E-tron doesn’t have any air intakes, even the front and side air intakes that the R8 has have been blanked off. Last year at the Frankfurt Motor Show Audi also claimed that the production model will have a total of 4500 Nm of torque which is about 5 times what the best petrol engine cand produce.

That amount of torque and the 313 bhp makes the E-tron do 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds and  a top speed of 125 mph. All that is achieved by having one electric engine powering each wheel and a mid mounted, liquid cooled Li-Ion battery pack which gives it a range of 155miles.

The E-tron will be  on sale some time next year.
