Audi e-tron
You are going to say that I'm talking waaaaay to much of electric cars but the facts are there: a lot of makers are running this race. The latest one is Germany's Audi, which revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show this e-tron. As you can see, it is basically a R8 -but fully electric. And yes, it's going really fast.
The figures are quite impressive. The 4 electric engines of the Audi e-tron have 313 hp and the car can go from 0 to 62mph in 4.8s. The top speed is limited to 125mph and the autonomy is announced to be of about 156m. The Audi e-tron is clearly a serious rival of the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics.
A fast and beautiful electric car: ecology has suddenly become very attractive to me.

BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
BMW is not very famous for its eco-friendly cars. Yet, the German carmaker has revealed a stunning concept prior to the Frankfurt Motor Show, this beautiful Vision EddicientDynamics.
The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept uses a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbodiesel. But as it is an Hybrid, it is associated to two electric motors which are located in both front and rear axles. The car reached 351 bhp. It's a "little" more than the Prius.
Even if the Vision EfficientDynamics is only a concept, BMW stated that the future models of the make will use the innovative technology developped on this concept. If the design is equally appealing, I'm really looking forward the next things!
