Audi Confirms e-Tron Detroit Concept as R4 Preview - Sub brand to emerge

I want one! the back end look beutiful slick lines and shape of it is just epic to look at! :)

that's hot.

Big hole in the nose of the Audi means that car will be a rear/mid-engined like an R8.

Come on guys, the R8's originality and luring character far outpace any and all characteristics of this car. No doubt nice I suppose, but in reality, I see nothing more than a smaller -yet somehow bulkier looking-, slower, and quite frankly uglier R8. I will admit that it's a more affordable alternative for everyone else who can't afford the R8.

Hopefully they manage to keep the weight down and the basic exterior and interior designs the same. If so, this will be my next car.

This really smacks of Audi mating a Camaro with a Nissan Z 350. But I still want one.

Extra! Hi! Im driving A8 4.2 FSI tiptronic DSG Quattro E-tron - leader seats nice

This e-Tron concept is getting boring. Audi's sport car concepts in the past few years have been following the same template. Most of the readers on this board just say this e-Tron is nice just because it is an Audi. They lack critical thinking ability. Audi concepts have not been that good, except for the Sportback(A7) last year, since Walter de Silva moved to VW. The new design chief Stefan Sielaff is a student of Walter. Even though Walter still is the boss of Stefan, Walter does not say anything bad about Stefan's concepts as long as those concepts are "good enough" and they follow the template laid out by Walter. When Walter was the design chief of Audi, those concepts he put out were very very creative and good. This e-Tron R4 has the LEAST creativity out of all the Audi concept cars in the past decade and this is the obvious truth. On the bright side, the A5 Sportback released last year is very very good. I hope the new A7 due later this year will be a good one. Audi's engines are slowly catching up with BMW's since the best engineering grads from Germany want to work for Audi.

Those are called opinions and there are things called options. That's how so many manufacturers thrive. No product is for everyone.

Just so you know... etron... in french... mean 'turd'... I don't see that lineup doing really well in Sarkoland...
