Audi e-tron SUV charges towards production
- Audi e-tron quattro SUV concept will be unveiled at Frankfurt;
- Production ready model scheduled for 2018;
- Claimed range of more than 310 miles;
- Electrified quattro drivetrain with three motors;
- cd value of just 0.25.
A FULLY electric luxury SUV with a Tesla-challenging range of more than 300 miles between charges will be unveiled by Audi at the Frankfurt Motorshow next month.
And far from being a pie-in-the-sky concept, the Audi e-tron 4×4 is destined for full series production within three years, insists the German manufacturer.
It draws from expertise gained in the development of the forthcoming R8 e-tron, and will be the brand’s first large-series electric car when it enters production in 2018.
The Audi e‑tron quattro concept is designed from the ground up as an electric car and claims to be pioneering in its segment.
It follows the Audi “Aerosthetics” concept, combining technical measures for reducing aerodynamic drag with creative design solutions.
Movable aerodynamic elements at the front, on the sides and at the rear improve the air flow around the car.
The aerodynamically optimised underbody is completely closed.
