Audi E-Tron Concept - 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show Coverage, New Car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine
The Audi e-Tron concept attempts to marry the ideas of battery power and high-performance sports cars.

The Audi e-Tron concept attempts to marry the ideas of battery power and high-performance sports cars. The sexy two-seater uses a lithium-ion battery pack, which is liquid-cooled and located behind the passenger compartment (earning it the descriptor "mid-battery sports car," which unfortunately has none of the excitement of "mid-engine sports car"). The power unit is able to generate a ho-hum 313 hp, but an eye-popping 3319 lb-ft of torque -- ten times the torque of the R8's 4.2-liter V-8.

Volkswagen continues to refine its plans for a hyper-efficient car capable of traveling 100 kilometers on one liter of fuel with the L1 concept prepared for 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show.

The European fuel efficiency measure of 1 liter/100 km is equivalent to 235 mpg.
