Audi R8 Electric Vehicle Concept Rumored to Debut in Frankfurt

a big WOW to that !

YES, an all electric powered R8? I want one. If it goes at least as good as the Tesla, i'll be the first to order. Were cool if Audi were the first german worldbrand to finally enter the all electic automotive future with a serious awsome looking supercar. electric cars are the only future and with Audi on the grid it would be a perfect entrance into that new market. Just curious how the sound will be like. surely not as awsome as a patrol R8, but better no sound at all than a funny sounding wannabe hybrid sports engine :). way to go AUDI! Don't wait! hey, why don't Audi also first compete LeMans with electric racecars (ERCs)? the way they did before the current R8 to prove their supersports and endurance competence ahead of road series production? could be a new competition category for a new electric racing trophy. But then i guess the batteries won't do it yet. -

either way, the R8 is a sure head turner...a real beauty

Electric cars can go to hell!

I really can't see the point of an A5 Sportback, because isn't that basically an A4 estate with a slightly more coupe-ish roofline. The new A8 sounds like it's coming too early though, because its barely got into the testing sessions yet. And as a final question to Audi, weren't you going to unveil the A1 and the A7 at Frankfurt too. Bear that in mind!

Can't wait to see the new A8, but I don't see mention of the A7? Those are the most anticipated future intros. Can't get excited about the A5 Sportback or the R8 electric (although I'll be curious to hear the engineering details).

I think everyone is confused about the A5 Sportback. Its not an estate in any way, ts essentially a mini A7 (a mini CLS if you can imagine that). It is literally an A5 with two extra doores. I have seen a picture of the car (a test vehicle) with the extra two doores etc. It looks fantastic, and the S5 Sportback should be a stunning car.
