Until now Audi has pretty much limited hybrid technology to its concept cars but that is set to change with the upcoming Q5 hybrid quattro – the company’s first hybrid model with two drive systems.

One of the highlights of IAA 2009 is Audi’s E-tron, an electric Quattro with 230 kW and a stunning 4,500 Nm of torque. The car’s lithium-ion battery holds 42.4 kilowatt hours, enough for 250 km.
