BMW recently revealed his plans to make electric citycar Megacity, also Daimler smart model with ED. Then, if Audi does not drool? Of course, drool.

Therefore, the CEO of Audi, Rupert Stadler has confirmed that the German manufacturer will make electric city car in the next five years, as reported by Autoblog, Tuesday (03/08/2010)

The initial purpose for the elaboration of this concept was to create a machine with demonic sensations by avoiding the immoderation and the inconveniences that we know of the current supercars, mainly in term of pollution.

A concept with the image of a muscular sports car, the Audi TT, and with performance equivalent to that of the Bugatti Veyron, the whole works in harmony with our environment and must join the perspective of 2010.

Aside from the production of the batteries themselves, this car is respectful of the environment mainly due to its electric motorization. The system of electric motorization transmits the fabulous power and reactivity of the engine.

It is in harmony with the ecological challenge and meets the needs of the present without compromising the capacity to satisfy the needs of the future generations.

The R-Zero is an exceptional supercar benefiting from an outstanding architecture. The electric motorization allows an original hierarchical organization of the streams of air in order to to control the behavior of the airflow around and inside the car.

The structure of the aerodynamic flow optimizes cooling of the motor and the brakes, as well as generating steady aerodynamic support, all of which is synonymous for performance.

The "Back single frame" is not a free aesthetic subtlety nor deprived of functionality … An airstream connecting the 2 single frames (back and front) is present inside in the car : This structural column thus traverses the total length of the machine.

Technique drove the design and the technical constraints were not subject to stylistic demands that, aside from the "Back single frame", we have created a product which forms part of the lineage of explosive motor vehicles. And in the end, we have an electric motor car which does not look like an electric car.


Stadler says, almost certainly if Audi will also have electric citycar. Until now being developed, and Audi believe there is a time when electric city car is feasible marketed.

However, it remains unclear whether citycar electric Audi will be based from the concept of e-Tron A1 or smaller platform called Zero Audi.

"However, we certainly pleased to be joining with others to offer a battery-powered small car," Sadler said.
