de Nysschen has been quoted by US media as saying: “I expect we will see running examples in the next 24 months.”

The Audi e-tron sits between the R8 and TT in size. Total available power is 313bhp and torque is 3319lb ft — around 10 times that produced by the V8-engined R8. Performance is brisk; 0-62mph takes 4.8sec, 37-75mph takes 4.1sec and the top speed is 124mph.
