Audi Drops Hints of R8 ePerformance before Frankfurt
Audi’s electric R8 ePerformance is scheduled to make a public appearance Sept. 15th, two days prior to the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show. But in order to wet enthusiasts’ appetites the German auto maker has launched a new micro site – ElectricityUntamed.com – which features fan made/found viral videos, touting the unpredictable nature of electricity. We promise those on Audi’s site are far less staged then the one above.
More exciting to us then a bunch of youtube clips featuring Jackass-style antics is the above R8 ePerformance Concept image – which is shown off at the end of every clip. You can just make out the headlights and grill, but we’re guessing in two weeks that Audi fans globally will be impressed. The R8 EV is reported to be powered by a massive lithium-ion battery and a series of electric motors. Stay tuned for more details.
