Recent press releases have detailed that you can try the Audi e-Tron on a virtual drive through your Play Station. Before you do that, let us give you some info about the Audi electric supercar that impressed the crowd during the Frankfurt Auto Show in Germany.
The e-Tron from Audi features technologies that might be pointing to the direction of how electronic vehicles must be in the future. The e-Tron is based on the platform of the R8 supercar and includes four electric motors connected independently to each of the wheels of the vehicle. It truly lives up to the Quattro tag just like the other range in the Audi fleet.
The output of the motor is just 313 horsepower but has an astounding torque of 3,319 lb-ft. It can zoom from 0 to 62mph in just 4.8 seconds and blast from 37 to 75 mph in a blink of 4.1 seconds.
The car depends on a 53 kWh lithium-ion battery pack for its power. Like in other EVs the battery makes up a big bulk of the weight at 1,036 lbs. Audi managed to keep the weight of the e-Tron to just about 3,527 lbs.
Even when you step on the pedal and maximize its horsepower and torque, the e-Tron can still boast of a 154-mile range on single charging. This is an excellent number and is attributed by Audi to the size of the battery, the aerodynamics of the car, low rolling resistance, and other efficient components.
Too bad we will not see the car on the road yet. It remains a concept and Audi has not signified any intention to produce such an EV supercar. The e-Tron can surely give a good race to lead the pack of electric vehicles in the market today or in development. For now, get hold of those controllers and try it on your Play Station.
