rusnak... you OK today?
These super hybrids are awesome. BTW: If you follow endurance racing or LeMans 24, I think you might notice a dominance by hybrids.
Back to the streets... quotes of why an R8 e-tron version:
Being able to reach high top speeds in the least amount of time is the most important thing that a sports car can deliver, if it can do it by using batteries than we don’t really see a problem. If Audi can truly create an exciting Quattro experience with its new E-Tron R8 than they will have accomplished something truly special in this emerging market.
"The R8 e-tron has given a magnificent demonstration of its potential on the toughest race track in the world," (that arguably being the Nurburgring) said Michael Dick, Audi AG Board Member for Technical Development. Dick, who completed a fast lap himself in the R8 e-tron, added: "The record-setting drive confirmed that we are on the right track. To us, electric mobility has never been about sacrifice, but rather is about emotion, sportiness and driving pleasure."
