Audi e-tron 1

Renderings of a new Audi electric concept have found their way online about two weeks ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, and although the company failed at giving more details, the new e-Tron’s grand debut has managed (not that it would be hard) to cause some serious drooling to all those laying eyes on it.

Now speaking of those who fell for the R8-looking Audi e-Tron, you guys should be happy to know that the company finally came through and made the official announcement that the vehicle is actually going to hit production lines and should be available on the roads in less than two years.

The new Audi e-Tron electric vehicle is a two-seater sports car that runs on four electric motors  drawing juice from a 213kg lithium-ion battery hidden behind the seats, that offers a 154 mile range on a full charge. With 313 horsepower and an astonishing 4,500Nm peak torque (for an electric vehicle that’s nothing short of breathtaking), the new Audi e-Tron reaches 60mph in a mere 4.8 seconds and tops at 124 mph.

No word concerning a price, but we’re definitely in for an expensive four wheeler, one that we wouldn’t mind taking for a spin around the block.
