2015 Audi R8 E-Tron Is Fully Electric

Even though the Audi R8 E-Tron had an uncertain future for quite some time, we’re pleased to announce that the renowned German automaker decided to actually make this thing a reality once and for all.

The reason for the project’s ups and downs was directly related to the poor range delivered by the car’s battery pack (130 miles), but Audi’s engineers kept working on various solutions and eventually ended up with an output of 280 miles, which is a much more respectable result. Now even though 280 miles isn’t exactly what you would expect to get from a regular electric vehicle, you need to keep in mind that the R8 E-Tron boasts over 500 lb-ft of torque and 376 horsepower, which means that it can perform a 0-60 sprint in just 4.2 seconds.

This stunning vehicle will only be sold upon request and will be part of a very limited edition, which means that it will be quite a rare sight to behold.
