There is no schedule or price, but the electric super sports car could be positioned as a competitor to the Tesla Roadster 2.0. The study used three electric motors – one in front and two in the back. The latter are positioned centrally between the stub axles. The maximum total power is 500 kW. The torque of up to 830 Newton meters is to enable an acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in barely more than 2 seconds.

The PB18 E-Tron is not Audi’s first electric supercar. The company already sold an e-version of the Audi R8, under the name R8 E-Tron was sold. The vehicle with two electric motors with a total of 340 kW power reached 100 km / h in 3.9 seconds and should have a range of 450 km. However, Audi delivered less than 100 units in the two years of production and finished the program in 2016. The car cost 1 million euros.

The Tesla Roadster 2 should cost $ 200,000 to $ 250,000 and accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in about 2.1 seconds. The final speed is given as more than 400 km / h. How long the 200 kWh battery then durchalte, Tesla did not share, but at highway speed – ie 88 to 105 km / h – it should be 960 km. The vehicle is powered by three electric motors, which should achieve a total torque of 10,000 Newton meters. It should be built from 2020.
