Audi Motorsport Audi F12 e performance prototype revealed

[Tumbo]

Only has 204 HP (150 kW)​

Audi has unveiled their F12 e performance prototype.​

Completed after three years of work, the car was jointly developed with Bosch and several institutes at the RWTH Aachen University. It is described as a "major advance for electric mobility" because the car's modules can be used in a variety of EVs.​

The car is based on the R8 and features a 38+ kWh battery. It also has three electric motors which can be controlled separately. At low speeds, the front axle motor powers the car by itself. At high speeds, the two rear motors are activated to enable the car to produce a combined output of 204 HP (150 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque.​

Despite the completion of the project, Audi says some of the prototype's components - such as the carbon fiber reinforced plastic housing for the rear battery - could eventually make it into production.​

Porsche buckets instead of Audi's own?

You appreciate the achievements of Tesla when you read about (still) a prototype "super/sport" car, made by Audi/VW with pathetic specs like 150 kW motor and 38 kWh battery pack, that will be probably priced well north of 50K.

This is kind of out of topic, but, looks at this. Audi going to use this electric-turbo in many models in future.
