‘Mini R8’ is raring to go!

New R4 is coming – and zero-emissions model based on e-tron concept is set to top the range

Here are the pictures that show Audi is on a real charge when it comes to electric sports cars.

This is the preview of the new R4 – a production version of the stunning electric e-tron concept car, revealed at last month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

The R4 is also likely to spawn petrol-engined versions, giving the R8 a much anticipated smaller brother coupé that sits above the TT in the range.

Wowing crowds with its zero emissions electric powertrain, the e-tron was a big hit at Frankfurt. But only now has Audi of America’s president Johan de Nysschen confirmed the Tesla Roadster rival will reach showrooms.

The project is likely to be helped by Audi’s joint venture with fellow VW Group firm, Porsche, which will see the R4 share a new chassis with the next-generation Boxster and Cayman.

This new sports car range will feature an electric version at the very top of the line-up, with petrol versions underneath.

As you can see from our illustrations, it will look striking. It mixes the compact, squat proportions of the e-tron concept car with amazing design cues such as those LED C-shaped headlights, along with a trademark Audi grille and scalloped sides. Seen here in targa-topped roadster trim, it will also be available as a coupé and a drop-top.

The new flagship will be powered by a development of the e-tron’s electric powertrain. There’s a lithium-ion battery pack with four electric motors, two on each axle, giving it a fresh take on Audi’s quattro four-wheel-drive theme.

These give an output of around 300bhp, as well as an incredible 4,500Nm of torque, delivering instant acceleration with 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds. Top speed is likely to jump from the concept’s 124mph to a more supercar-like 140mph – all with no tailpipe emissions.

As in the concept, the 470kg lithium-ion battery is placed in the middle of the car, where the engine would be. Once fully charged, it promises to deliver a range of about 155 miles.

Drive is biased towards the rear – just like the R8 – and the chassis is a new aluminium spaceframe set-up with plastic body panels to keep weight down to around 1,500kg.

De Nysschen said he expects to see prototypes on the road within two years, so showroom-ready versions could arrive in 2012. That gives Audi time to refine the electric powertrain and decide whether it wants to lease batteries to customers – as Renault is planning – or include them in the price of the car.

Further down the range, the R4 will feature several engines from the current TT line-up, including a 335bhp 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo.

It’s likely to arrive within the next two years.

Der Gedanke ist mir auch gekommen...

na wenn der NEUE wirklich so aussieht brauche ich ja nicht wechseln :D:D

Genau. Einfallsloser ging wohl nicht bei der AB!

While all R4s will have quattro four-wheel drive, the hybrid will take this further. As there’s no mechanical link between the mid-mounted engine driving the rear wheels and the electric motor powering the fronts, the car will get a clever torque vectoring system as seen on the e-tron Spyder.

die idee finde ich eigentlich ganz nett. und ein hecklastiger mid-engine wagen zwischen tt und r8 ist ja nie verkehrt ;)

Den Wagen mit dem 2,5 TFSI. Das wäre perfekt!

Würde der Karren so kommen, dann würde ich den S5 freiwillig in den Bach fahren.

 

Aber ich denke, die Audi-Preispolitik wird mir da einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen.

Denke nicht, dass der Wagen in vernünftiger Ausstattung und mit 2,5 TFSI unter 70k zu haben sein wird.

the proposed “little brother to the Audi R8? has been cancelled according to a highly placed source at Audi AG. Apparently when company directors looked into the feasibility it was determined that there just wasn’t enough room for a car to be placed between the top TT RS and the base R8.

einfach mal den r8 aufwerten, dann ist auch wieder platz für ein zusatzmodell...

Die sagen ja jede Woche was anderes :D

Wäre jedoch Schade wenn es so käme......

Würde mich sehr freuen zu hören das das Projekt nicht eingestampft würde.

Ein Mittelmotorkonzept zwischen TT und R8 wäre schon was feines ;)

Planänderung: Audi A2 erst 2016, kein Audi R4

Audi-Fans müssen sich noch etwas gedulden: Der Verkauf des kleinen Audi A2 wird nicht wie geplant 2013/14 starten, sondern auf 2016 verschoben. Beim Sportwagen R4 sieht es noch schlechter aus. Er soll gar nicht erst auf den Markt kommen.

Wer braucht nochmal den A2? :)

Vielleicht holt sich der TT3 ja ein paar Anleihen von den Studien. Ich würde mir eigentlich nur einen etwas strammeren Hintern für den TT wünschen :D

mir geht's eher um die leistung. der nächte rs hat doch maximal das derzeitige plus-setup. wenn man mehr möchte müsste es ein modell aus einem höheren level sein.

und andere kritische komponenten, wie die bremsen, wären bei einer plattform, die nicht auf dem golf sondern auf dem cayman basiert sicherlich auch in besseren händen.

der rs ist ein beeindruckendes 'abfallprodukt' der golf-plattform, aber gegen ein modell, das wirklich auf sportlichkeit hin konzipiert wurde guckt er dann technisch doch in die röhre.

damit bleibt dann wohl die modellpalette von audi bis 2016 so wie sie heute auch schon ist:

Zitat:

In a roundtable interview with quattro GmbH product boss Stefan Reil at the Geneva Motor Show this week, the German executive confirmed that a decision about the quattro Concept had been reached. Unfortunately for fans of the car, the car will not make it into production.
