Audi R4

On a motor show in Detroit company Audi has presented the new version of the electric coupe e-tron. And, this time it is a question of "the facilitated" variant of the car. The new car not only is less on dimensions of the big brother (the premiere of the first version e-tron has passed in September of last year on a motor show in Frankfurt), but also has more simple power-plant. If last year's e-tron had at once four engines total capacity of 313 h.p. and a twisting moment already in 4500 Nm, but the new car possesses only two electromotors which work exclusively with a rear axle. Capacity of these cursors makes 201 h.p. that allows to disperse the car of 0-100 km/h for 5,9 sec.



Thanks to the capacious accumulator which 400 kg weigh almost, Audi e-tron it is capable to pass without additional charge of 250 km that for an electromobile quite decent distance. Well and to recharge the car, as always in such cases, it is possible as from the usual socket connection (it will demand several hours), and from special installation. Last will allow to "fill" the car less than in an hour. It is interesting that showing in Detroit new concept Audi solves at once two problems. First, shows to public the potential. And, secondly, checks reaction of potential buyers to appearance of this model. After all there are all bases to assume that the design e-tron will lay down in a basis of serial coupe R4.

Audi E-Tron will go to a Serial Production

Representatives of company Audi have confirmed that they will exhaust the first Electric Super Car E-Tron. However, this model will appear on sale only in 2012, and its circulation will make only 1000 copies. Will cost how many Audi e-tron while, naturally, it is not informed, but nobody hides that it will be the most expensive serial Audi for all history of existence of the company.

Let's remind that the premiere concept e-tron has passed in September of this year on a motor show in Frankfurt. Electric super car was at this exhibition one of the most interesting exhibits. Still, after all this car is set in motion by four electric motors (one on each wheel) which eat from the litievo-ionic accumulator battery located behind seats and having liquid cooling. Total capacity of motors in peak reaches 313 horsepowers, and the size of the maximum twisting moment and is at all magnificent. Already from zero "turns" cursors in the sum give out attention! 4500 Nm.



Thanks to such indicators! A coupe from a place to 100 km/h dispersed all for 4,8 sec only. Maximum speed could be and above, but developers have decided to limit it on a mark of 200 km/h. On high speeds too much energy leaves on overcoming of aerodynamic resistance and resistance. All-wheel drive e-tron possesses the expressed rear-wheel habits as 70 % of pull-rod almost always are necessary on rear wheels.
