Audi e-tron concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

When introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show<\/a> in September, Audi<\/a> boasted its all-electric e-tron<\/a> was fitted with four electric motors producing “230 kW (313 horsepower) and 4,500 Nm (3,319.03 pound-feet) of torque.” While the e-tron’s styling may have raised a few eyebrows, we were notably moved by the quoted torque figure – especially when we considered that the twin-turbocharged Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG<\/a>, one of the most powerful vehicles on the road, makes 738 lb-ft in comparison. We were stupefied by the number, and it set off more than a few debates among our group, but Audi made no attempt to clarify… <\/p>\n

The team at Automobile Magazine<\/em>, initially duped like everyone else, has recognized that Audi was quoting torque measured at the wheels<\/em>, not at the output shaft – the industry standard. Measuring torque at the wheels takes the multiplication effect of the transmission and final drive gears into account. The resulting figures are generally ten-fold of what they would be at the crank (meaning cars like a 3.6-liter Chevrolet Malibu<\/a> packs a similar 3,115 lb-ft of torque). Audi’s e-tron torque figures are not exactly dishonest, but they are using a completely different evaluation without making mention of it in the press release. Long story short, Automobile<\/em> estimates the e-tron makes about 252 lb-ft of torque, or a bit less than the Tesla Roadster’s<\/a> 273 lb-ft.<\/p>\n
