The Audi e-tron Spyder
04 Oct 2010|3,814 views
The show car, with plug-in hybrid drive, is 4.06 metres long, 1.81 metres wide and only 1.11 metres high. The twoseater is equipped with a 300 bhp twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors producing a total of 64 kW at the front axle.
The Audi e-tron Spyder's low total weight of only around 1,450 kilograms combined with the hightorque TDI and the two electric motors results in respectable performance. The car accelerates to100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, and top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h. The e-tron Spyder can combine the powerful torque of its TDI - the diesel engine generates 650 Nm and the total of 352 Nm of its two electric motors during acceleration in a process known as "boosting."
The intelligent distribution of power allows for optimal dynamics in every situation. The targeted application of power to the front wheels improves longitudinal dynamics while also improving lateral dynamics when cornering. This is because torque vectoring - the as-needed distribution of torque between the left and right wheels of the two axles - enables an exhilarating degree of driving precision and excellent agility. Thanks also to its low weight, short wheelbase and perfect 50:50 weight distribution for dynamic handling, the Audi e-tron Spyder has all the drivability of a go-kart - good on bends and neutral right up to the very high handling limit.
The combination of a highly efficient TDI and electric drive also provides for excellent fuel economy and amazingly low emissions. The Audi e-tron Spyder requires on average just 2.2l diesel/100 km, corresponding to CO2 emissions of 59 g/km. A range of more than 1,000 kilometres is possible with the 50- litre tank.
The open sports car can also drive strictly on electric power and thus with zero emissions over distances of up to 50 kilometres, such as in urban areas. The top speed of 60 km/h is just fine for normal driving.
