2010 Paris Motor Show- Audi e-tron Spyder Concept

Description

Audi has introduced the e-Tron Spyder concept at the Paris motor show today. The e-Tron has grown since it was introduced at the Detroit motor show earlier this year. This Spyder variant is 13 cm (5 inches) longer than the original e-Tron Coupe concept and 3 cm (1.2 inches) wider.

Add that to a 1450 kg (3197 lbs) curb weight distributed front to back in an even 50:50 ratio and you have some impressive handling and performance figures. 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) takes 4.4 seconds, top speed is an electronically-limited 250 km/h (155.34 mph). More impressive than that is the fuel-economy for such a raging supercar. 2.2 liters/100 km (106.92 US mpg) and CO2 emissions of just 59 g/km (94.95 g/mile). A fill-up of diesel on the 50-liter tank will get you a range of more than 1000 km (621 mi). Driving in zero-emissions electric mode, the e-Tron Spyder has a range of up to <b>...</b>
