The news has just been confirmed officially by the German manufacturer Audi … and everything is expressed through a brief statement in the form of press release aimed at a new R & D center for electric cars. Audi has given the ground with all the doubts and confirmed the arrival (this time in particular) of the Audi R8 and-Tron.
The issue has been reported just like that, as one who does not like things, but in reality it is an ordinary advertisement, not a news story: this is a real bomb that exploded just before all of us.
The familiar Audi R8 e-Tron will be rolling through the streets (European, of course) to give the bell when the year 2012 and to this new official confirmation will come from yet another kind of doubts and rumors: those who talk about the supposed form end of the model in question. In this regard there are several versions, but would not be unreasonable to focus on two: the first is that most likely the e-Tron R8 takes its final form inspired by several conceptual models that the brand has shown at auto shows in Frankfurt, Los Angeles and Paris, but there is also a version that states that almost certainly the Audi R8 and-Tron on how to match that exhibited at some time in Le Mans and we have taken due note here Cars 2.0 as you remember.
Whatever the thing, the fact is that in 2012 this car will finally be a reality, having by then with a tip of years on their backs as experience (six years in particular) while the electric version is taking its first steps on this land they inhabit.
Audi said that the existence of e-Tron R8 is limited to a small number of units (no one knows for certain how many are talking about: the brand simply spoke of “small volume”) so it would not be unreasonable to reach to think that the car may not come to market in an open to the public. All this we shall see in due time, but the good thing is that as the car it will become a reality.
To all this, and to generate much more excitement, be good to refresh the memory by saying that among its main attractions, the Audi R8 can accelerate e-Tron with its electric motor from 0 to 100 km / h. in just 4.8 seconds.
