Audi has a new electric car coming up.
The video sex good-humored 2017Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron concept is, technically, an identical twin to Audi's Q4 e-tron concept, which was launched in 2019 — the two cars share the same Volkswagen MEB platform, 225 kW powertrain, and 82k Wh battery. Even the dimensions are roughly the same.
In actual performance numbers, this means 0-100 km/h (0-62.1 mph) acceleration in 6.3 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h (111.8 mph), and 450 km (279.6 miles) of range.
