Frankfurt 2009: Audi e-tron is red outside, nice inside
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Audi, Frankfurt Motor Show, Green Daily
The Audi e-tron concept has a few good things going for it on the outside, like lustrous red paint, some wicked cool taillights, and… well… maybe something else that’s escaped us. Sadly, those things are overcome by the chrome baleen job for the front and rear grilles, the too-tricky-by-half headlights, the remnant lines of a blade, and… those… wheels… which look like they were designed by Schick. Inside it’s much nicer, with a heart-thumpingly curvy design and a thing-of-beauty center console. Although the steering wheel gives us a hint of pause, the angled gauges make us happy. If Audi can actually get that leviathan powertrain sorted out for production (again, 3,319 lb-ft of torque?!), all would be forgiven. In the meantime, try and enjoy it in the gallery below.
