Audi has revealed the prototype for a new member of its e-tron electric car family, the e-tron GT, writes Brian Byrne.
With a power output of nearly 700ps, the coupe features two electric motors, air suspension, 4-wheel steering, and the ability to recharge 100km in five minutes at a suitable charging outlet. An intriguing feature is, when the car is getting close to a chosen charging station, the system begins cooling the battery so that it is ready for optimum charging.
The production version will be released next year, with a guide price in Germany of €143,000. The company says the car will be available in all key markets.
The Audi e-tron GT is being built at Audi Böllinger Höfe at Neckarsulm on the same line as the Audi R8.
