A new version of the  Audi e-tron showcases the advanced technology of the original e-tron in a more compact yet no less appealing package.

The vehicle body has a powerful, wide and muscular stance on the road, and looks extremely compact and puristic not least thanks to the typically short sports car wheelbase of just 2.43 metres (95.67 in) – a whole 22 centimetres (8.66 in) shorter than the R8.

1.78 metres wide, just 3.93 metres long and 1.22 metres tall – those are the classic proportions of a sports car. That leaves space ahead of the rear wheels for the 399 kilogram battery unit, with converter and power electronics.

The two electric motors, which have their own cooling system, are mounted on the rear axle. This special package, featuring a 40:60 weight distribution, ensures perfect balance, which contributes to the driving dynamics of the Audi e-tron.  

With a running range of 155 miles, the e-tron delivers 0-62mph acceleration in 5.9 seconds and a 124mph top speed from an output equivalent to 204PS and peak torque of 2,650Nm
