Under NewsAdding to its family of e-tron electric vehicles, Audi has released details of a pure-electric prototype, the A3 e-tron.
The German carmaker has planted a 134hp electric motor under the bonnet providing 270Nm (199lbf-ft) of torque, giving it similar performance to the Nissan LEAF. 0-60mph takes 11 seconds and top speed is limited to 90mph.
A 26.5kWh lithium-ion battery gives a range of 87 miles, while battery recharge takes around nine hours from a 230V supply and four hours on a 400V rapid charge.
A launch schedule is yet to be confirmed, but the A1 e-tron is expected in late 2012 at the earliest – so we could be looking at 2013 before we see its larger sibling on the road.
