Audi Launch 2Nd Generation Audi R8 E-Tron @ Geneva

The instant generation of the Audi R8 forms the enterprise reason for ii models. Audi has made major applied scientific bailiwick developments inwards its high-performance electrical sports car, the R8 e-tron. The latest evolution of the vehicle takes upwards the multimaterial Audi Space Frame from the novel series-production model.

The supporting structure was enhanced by times a CFRP rear-section module comprising the luggage compartment. The walls of the CFRP luggage compartment skillful are corrugated. This way, inwards the set out of a rear-end collision, more than liberate release energy tin give the axe concluding absorbed despite the reduced cloth weight.

Thanks to targeted modifications to the outer musical rhythm out together with on the wheels, the Audi R8 e tron achieves an aerodynamic drag coefficient (cd) value of 0.28. In harm of surgical operation together with range, the automobile enters exclusively novel dimensions.

The large T-shaped battery is structurally integrated into the middle tunnel together with behind the occupant prison home theatre cellular telephone – optimally positioned inwards the car. It supports the dynamics of the R8 e-tron amongst its depression middle of gravity. Audi produces the high-voltage battery itself, for the kickoff 4th dimension based on a newly developed lithium-ion applied scientific discipline which was especially conceived for a purely electrical vehicle drive. In comparison to the kickoff applied scientific discipline platform, the battery capacity has grown from 49 kWh to or together with thence 92 kWh. This progress was possible without changing the package.

The R8 e-tron achieves an electrical brand of 450 kilometers (279.6 mi) instead of a previous 215 kilometers (133.6 mi) amongst an liberate release energy density that has been increased from 84 Wh/kg to 154 Wh/kg together with about other modifications to the car. The electrically powered high-performance sports automobile has the Combined Charging System (CCS) on board, which allows charging amongst correct away together with alternating current. Using this system, it is possible to fully bill the battery inwards significantly less than ii hours.

The mightiness is at exhibit twice 170 kW together with the maximum torque twice 460 Nm (339.3 lb-ft). The R8 e-tron accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) inwards 3.9 seconds on its way to an electronically restricted summit speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph) or 250 km/h (155.3 mph). Intelligent liberate release energy management together with an electromechanical brake organisation enable high liberate release energy recuperation rates. Targeted torque vectoring – needs-based distribution of mightiness transmission between the nurture wheels – ensures maximum stability together with dynamism.

Audi uses the electrical high-performance sports automobile primarily as a mobile high-tech laboratory. Accordingly, the findings from the R8 e-tron assistance inwards creating a vehicle amongst a sedan character. Upon customer request, the R8 e-tron testament concluding available for companionship inwards 2015 as an electrically powered sports automobile inwards supreme hand-built quality.
