Audi Unveils Electric Car Plans
Audi has been talking about their electric car for a few years now, but finally a solid plan for alternative energy is coming out of the auto maker’s R&D. Audi’s older A2 concept is being brought back, mated with a VW Up! concept to give birth to the Audi E1.
Audi first plans on introducing a gas and diesel variant of their E1 – based on a combination of Volkswagen Up! Audi Metroproject and A2 concepts. Afterwords, expect to see a fully-electric motor, ready to chase the electric car competition down the road. Audi will also introduce a larger E2 sports coupe hybrid. But they do not have plans to bring a fully electric sportster due to technological restraints.
Audi’s all aluminum A2 concept from 2007 will be transformed into the E3 -coming out by 2011. Larger sedans, an E4 and E5, should be at your local Audi dealer by 2014.
