Audi Launch 2D Generation Audi R8 E-Tron @ Geneva

The instant generation of the Audi R8 forms the solid soil for ii models. Audi has made major applied scientific discipline developments inwards its high-performance electrical sports car, the R8 e-tron. The latest evolution of the vehicle takes upwards the multimaterial Audi Space Frame from the novel series-production model.

The supporting construction was enhanced past times a CFRP rear-section module comprising the luggage compartment. The walls of the CFRP luggage compartment good are corrugated. This way, inwards the number of a rear-end collision, to a greater extent than liberate energy tin give notice last absorbed despite the reduced fabric weight.

Thanks to targeted modifications to the outer trounce together with on the wheels, the Audi R8 e tron achieves an aerodynamic drag coefficient (cd) value of 0.28. In damage of surgery together with range, the automobile enters solely novel dimensions.

The large T-shaped battery is structurally integrated into the middle tunnel together with behind the occupant prison theater cellular telephone – optimally positioned inwards the car. It supports the dynamics of the R8 e-tron alongside its depression middle of gravity. Audi produces the high-voltage battery itself, for the offset fourth dimension based on a newly developed lithium-ion engineering which was peculiarly conceived for a purely electrical vehicle drive. In comparing to the offset engineering platform, the battery capacity has grown from 49 kWh to or together with hence 92 kWh. This progress was possible without changing the package.

The R8 e-tron achieves an electrical make of 450 kilometers (279.6 mi) instead of a previous 215 kilometers (133.6 mi) alongside an liberate energy density that has been increased from 84 Wh/kg to 154 Wh/kg together with another modifications to the car. The electrically powered high-performance sports automobile has the Combined Charging System (CCS) on board, which allows charging alongside right away together with alternating current. Using this system, it is possible to fully accuse the battery inwards significantly less than ii hours.

The mightiness is at nowadays twice 170 kW together with the maximum torque twice 460 Nm (339.3 lb-ft). The R8 e-tron accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) inwards 3.9 seconds on its agency to an electronically restricted acme speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph) or 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Intelligent liberate energy management together with an electromechanical brake organisation enable high liberate energy recuperation rates. Targeted torque vectoring – needs-based distribution of mightiness transmission betwixt the nurture wheels – ensures maximum stability together with dynamism.

Audi uses the electrical high-performance sports automobile primarily equally a mobile high-tech laboratory. Accordingly, the findings from the R8 e-tron help inwards creating a vehicle alongside a sedan character. Upon client request, the R8 e-tron volition last available for lodge inwards 2015 equally an electrically powered sports automobile inwards supreme hand-built quality.
