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.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
