The e-tron is Audi’s series of electrically-powered concept coupes, and the first e-tron concept unveiled at Frankfurt was reminiscent of Audi’s R8 supercar. However, the Detroit showcar is a smaller example, which is said to preview a future small Audi coupe, rumoured to be called the R4.
The e-tron Detroit concept measures 27cm shorter in length, 12cm narrower and 1cm shorter in height than the e-tron Frankfurt concept, and weighs in at 1,350kg, 250kg less than the Frankfurt model. This makes the e-tron Detroit even smaller than the TT, and indicates a future smaller coupe series in the Audi range.
The e-tron Detroit is powered by two electric motors at the front and rear axles, which produces 204bhp and 2,650Nm of torque altogether. The powered can be freely distributed between the wheels as required, and the car is said to be able to accelerate from 0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds, on to a restricted top speed of 200km/h.
The lithium-ion batteries used to power the electric motors weigh 399kg and are mounted in the middle of the car. The batteries are able to provide a range of 250km on a full charge, and can be charged through a standard 230V household socket in 11 hours, or through a high-power 400V socket in two hours.
