Audi Shows Off the e-tron GT, But it’s Still Under Camo

Audi is set to reveal the e-tron tomorrow, but before that, there’s some more teasing to be done. So here, for your viewing pleasure, is the e-tron GT under camouflage.

Based on the same PPE electric platform as the Porsche Taycan, Audi has revealed that the e-tron GT will be capable of traveling 248 miles on a single charge.

Unfortunately, they’re keeping their cards close to the chest until tomorrow’s full reveal at around noon. But until then, we can see the car’s overall shape and some of its larger body lines.

We do know, though, that the car’s batteries will all be under the floor but that platform’s packaging tricks allow it to remain low slung, as a sports car should be. We also know that the Taycan is supposedly capable of hitting 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, so this shouldn’t be far off.

Following very much in the footsteps of the A7, the e-tron appears to be a Sportback par excellence, though its roof, if anything, slopes even more aggressively than the A7’s (or A5’s, for that matter).

There is a bit of Porsche influence at the tail, though, with a butt that shares a little bit in common with the Taycan.

We’ll get a better idea of exactly how the body shapes up tomorrow and what kind of power and performance you can expect from the e-tron GT tomorrow.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
