LA Auto Show: Audi E-Tron

by Alex L. Dykes

Published: December 3rd, 2009

We all hoped/thought that Tron was a relic left to the distant 80’s acid trips, but Audi has decided to bring it back again. Shown at the Frankfurt motor show their e-tron concept looks strangely close to production to me. Supposedly debuting two years from now as a 2012 production model buyers willing to fork out huge sums of cash will be treated to more than 3,300 ft-lbs of torque and 313hp, for no doubt very limited distances between charges.

I am completely put off by this car. Ok fine.. Orange + Ok Fine its fantastically expensive ++ And yes.. its got a Remington / Norelco grill... not so fine -+ And.. they took away a chief styling element.. the blades, (one big reason why the car looked so good) to do this. Im just.. agast. I get all happy about the Audi R10 concept.. and then I see this -- Awful!

Lorenzo People don't want EVs, they want inexpensive vehicles. EVs are not that. To paraphrase the philosopher Yogi Berra: If people don't wanna buy 'em, how you gonna stop 'em?
Ras815 Ok, you weren't kidding. That rear pillar window trick is freakin' awesome. Even in 2024.
Probert Captions, pleeeeeeze.
ToolGuy Companies that don't have plans in place for significant EV capacity by this timeframe (2028) are going to be left behind.
Tassos Isn't this just a Golf Wagon with better styling and interior?I still cannot get used to the fact how worthless the $ has become compared to even 8 years ago, when I was able to buy far superior and more powerful cars than this little POS for.... 1/3rd less, both from a dealer, as good as new, and with free warranties. Oh, and they were not 15 year olds like this geezer, but 8 and 9 year olds instead.
