My Dream Car.

This is a fully electric car created by Audi. It consists of 4 electric motors (one for each wheel) and brings over 300 horsepower (all electric). Here’s the summary from Audi:

Audi presents the highlight of the IAA 2009: the e-tron, a high-performance sports car with a purely electric drive system. Four motors two each at the front and rear axles drive the wheels, making the concept car a true quattro. Producing 230 kW (313 hp) and 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 lb-ft) of torque, the two-seater accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 62.14 mph) in 4.8 seconds, and from 60 to 120 km/h (37.28 74.56 mph) in 4.1 seconds. The lithium-ion battery provides a truly useable energy content of 42.4 kilowatt hours to enable a range of approximately 248 kilometers.

maybe in 2020 when they decide not to make it you’ll have enough money for one. :lol

It can only go 150 miles? Thats basically like driving in a car as soon as the low gas light comes on. I wonder how much it weighs (can it turn)

It needs it to lug all those batteries around. Compare the 3000 ft pounds and 4.8 second 0-60 time to the veyron’s 900ft/lbs and 2.5s 0-60 time

not to mention the veyron is a fat pig that weighs over 2 tons! Or the fact that the electric motors put out all that torque instantly instead of at “peak” RPM.
