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