Pure electric performance car models come! The first pure electric work led by Audi will appear in 2020

According to the foreign media "InsideEVs" report, the AUDI Sport performance department will consider the introduction of pure electric performance models in the future, and the car will be officially released in 2020-2025. In the previous performance department chief, Stephan Winkelmann revealed that he is inclined to develop pure electric vehicle (EV) rather than plug-in hybrids. When talking about the approximate prototype of pure electric performance products in the future, he also revealed that in the future, SUVs and four-door sedan products will be developed instead of creating a pure electric supercar. The main reason is that the battery pack of the pure electric car and the components such as the powertrain need a large space to load. It is obvious that the design of the super-running cluster cannot meet the design requirements of the pure electric car.

Winkelmann said: "Between 2020 and 2025, AUDI will begin to move toward electrification. But for us, the first step is not to develop a pure electric car like R8, but to put as much effort as possible. SUVs or four-door sedan models, and in such zero-emission models, whether in the battery pack packaging technology, or in the cabin space or even the horsepower weight ratio control, the department will Providing an unforgettable performance that is unforgettable, just like its gasoline performance.” Last year, although the brand suddenly discontinued the R8 e-tron pure electric car, it only sold less than 100 R8 e-trons. Even so, AUDI is still ambitious for the development of pure electric cars in the future, so please wait and see.
