2015 Audi R8 E-Tron Confirmed Amongst 450 Km Range
The 2015 Audi R8 e-tron electrical supercar volition convey 340 kW of might together with a remarkable 920 Nm of torque, sprint from 0-100 km/h inwards 3.9 seconds together with offering a attain inwards excess of 450 km.
The second-generation of Audi’s halo production volition convey to a greater extent than than doubles the attain over the master copy small-batch model cheers to an increment inwards battery capacity from 49 kWh to only about 92 kWh. Energy density has increased from 84 Wh/kg to 154 Wh/kg patently without the 600 kg battery affecting packaging.
The battery powered R8 has a Combined Charging System (CCS) on board, which allows charging amongst straight together with alternating current. Using this system, it is possible to fully accuse the battery inwards significantly less than 2 hours.
The parent wheels are powered yesteryear 2 electrical motors amongst specs uprated from 381 HP (280 kW) together with 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) to 462 HP (340 kW) together with 920 Nm (679 lb-ft). It's plenty electrical might to render the Audi R8 e-tron 2.0 amongst a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) fourth dimension of 3.9 seconds earlier hitting an electronically-capped pinnacle speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
Audi says targeted torque vectoring, which it describes equally "needs-based distribution of might transmission betwixt the parent wheels" ensures maximum dynamics together with stability.
Audi says the novel R8 e-tron serves "primarily equally a mobile high-tech laboratory" that volition eventually feed into applied scientific discipline used inwards a high-volume sedan — but inwards the meantime, if you've got the fourth dimension together with the money, the Germans are willing to laid you lot 1 yesteryear hand. Hopefully we'll run into the machine on display inwards Geneva side yesteryear side week.
