Audi R8 e-tron laps the green hell

1,937 views

Audi has released footage of its all electric R8 based e-tron vehicle lapping the Nurburgring and claiming the title of fastest production EV.



Audi brought its R8 based e-tron to the Nurburgring track early this year and clocked an impressive timing of 8:09.099 minutes. Driven by Markus Wankelhock, the R8 EV with two electric motors that produce 308bhp and 820Nm of torque, was the fastest production EV ever. Unfortunately the only noise we hear is of the wind the car is cutting through. The future looks fun yet quiet.
