E-tron

Audi has celebrated the 150th birthday of its Neckarsulm production facility in Germany by getting a bunch of apprentices to re-imagine a classic car built in 1971 as a sporty future-modern electric based on the company's e-tron platform.

The question of what to do with electric vehicle batteries after their vehicular life cycle ends is only going to get louder and more pressing. Audi is experimenting with one possible option: electric rickshaws powered by second-life batteries.

More than two years after teasing the electrified grand touring concept at the LA Auto Show, Audi has finally pulled back the curtain on its first electric sportscar, the e-tron GT, available as both a GT base model and high-performance RS variant.

Audi has revealed the second all-electric car in its e-tron line with a stylish new Sportback. Rocking the same 300-kW (402-hp) AWD powertrain and 95-kWh battery pack as the original e-tron, it offers improved efficiency for increased range.

​Audi has dropped a fun, fast, "vegan" and sexy grand touring concept at the LA Auto Show. The e-tron GT will move to production by 2020, and the concept shows off a 590-horsepower AWD electric powertrain, a 250-mile (400 km) range, and fast charging ability to the tune of 200 miles in 20 minutes.

Audi has unveiled a concept car at Pebble Beach Automotive Week for the first time ever. The new PB 18 e-tron is a high-performance concept combining success from Audi’s LMP1 race car and the R18 e-tron. The car is powered by three electric motors, outputting up to 570 kW (764 horsepower).

We took a quick look at the all-new second-generation Audi R8 in our Geneva Motor Show exotic car photo gallery, but the new supercar is definitely worth a deeper dive. That's because beyond the basic styling and engineering refresh, there's an all-new R8 model: the 455-hp (340-kW) e-tron.

First introduced into rally racing in 1980, Audi’s AWD Quattro system has become synonymous with all wheel drive performance. But its AWD activities have expanded from rally-only to that of endurance racing. This year, the R18 e-tron Le Mans champion is back, but with a new hybrid system in hand.

As the North American International Auto Show ramps up, a number of manufacturers are back with subtle variations on previous ideas. Audi’s Allroad shooting brake concept is the latest e-tron concept to make its way to the show circuit, this time in the form of a 408 hp AWD hybrid crossover.

Audi’s digital rear-view mirror, which made its debut in the R18 e-tron Quattro and R18 ultra race cars at this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours, is set to enter small scale production at the end of this year in the Audi R8 e-tron.

Audi's R18 e-tron quattro achieved a perfect race result at the Le Mans 24 Hour race today with a 1-2 victory and the third place on the podium with the R18 Ultra Diesel.

Audi debuted two race cars in the Spa Six Hour race today, to a perfect result - fielding two each of the new Audi R18 ultra and R18 e-tron (hybrid) quattro cars, the marque finished with a stunning 1-2-3-4.
