DETROIT \u2014 Audi introduced a second electric car prototype in Detroit today, and it\u2019s a family affair. Like the two-seater sports car Audi showed off recently in Frankfurt and Los Angeles, the new concept is also named e-tron. The automaker is not trying to be confusing, said Michael Dick, a member of Audi\u2019s Management Board, interviewed in Detroit. Audi says that \u201ce-tron\u201d will be the name for a family of electric cars \u2014 hopefully to gain the same kind of resonance as \u201cquattro\u201d and \u201cTDI.\u201d
Mr. Dick describes the Detroit e-tron as a kind of mini R8, or alternately as the \u201clittle brother\u201d of Audi\u2019s other electric e-tron concept. \u201cIt is smaller and lighter than the other e-tron, and the technical investment is not so great,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is completely new, and something of a scaling exercise from the other car.\u201d The new e-tron, with two electric motors in the rear axle (the other e-tron has four motors), is capable of zero to 62 miles per hour in 5.9 seconds, with speed governed at 124 miles per hour. Range is estimated at 155 miles.
Weighing just under 3,000 pounds (with almost 900 pounds of batteries), the aluminum-and-plastic-bodied, rear-wheel-drive concept car has a combined output of 204 horsepower. A big 45-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack is behind the passenger compartment and in front of the rear axle.
\u201cIt is a little bit wider and flatter than the TT,\u201d says Filip Brabec, general manager of product planning for Audi of America. \u201cThe DNA is closer to the R series, so it could be the second member of that family.\u201d
Audi will produce at least 100 of the earlier and larger e-trons in a small series beginning in 2012. After that, Mr. Dick said \u201cthe customers will decide what happens next.\u201d Audi seems interested in offering an e-tron to the public, but is unable to estimate the cost of such a production vehicle \u2014 other than to admit that it won\u2019t be cheap. The market would be \u201cfor customers who like extraordinary and very sporty cars,\u201d Mr. Dick said. \u201cThey\u2019d have to be ready to invest a lot of money in a car that shows off all possibilities of the electrification of the automobile.\u201d
That sounds a bit like the Tesla Roadster, and a production-line e-tron could occupy basically the same space in the firmament of electric exotica.”<\/div>\n
