A3 e-tron debuts

Audi has expanded its concept electric vehicle range to five. A battery powered A3 hatchback is the latest addition to its ‘e-tron’ line-up and is incredibly straight forward in Audi terms with an electric motor driving the front wheels. The 100KW powertrain offers 0-62mph in 11.2seconds, a top speed of 90mph, and a range of 87 miles. The exterior remains the same, but Audi have re-jigged the inside and added some extra tech, like low power consumption air conditioning. Production could start late next year.
