All-Electric Audi R8 e-tron - Official
from the press release: The R8 e-tron achieves an electric range of approximately 280 miles - a considerable improvement over the technology platform’s 133 miles - with an energy density that has been increased from 84 Wh/kg to 154 Wh/kg and some other modifications to the car. The electrically powered high-performance sports car has the Combined Charging System (CCS) on board, which allows charging with direct and alternating current. Using this system, it is possible to fully charge the battery in significantly less than two hours. The power is now 462PS and the maximum torque 920Nm. The R8 e-tron 2.0 accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 3.9 seconds on its way to an electronically restricted top speed of 130mph or 155mph. Intelligent energy management and an electromechanical brake system enable high energy recuperation rates. Targeted torque vectoring – needs-based distribution of power transmission between the rear wheels – ensures maximum stability and dynamism. 15 pictures and full press release . |

I like the old one better; smoother exterior design, and they're doing away with the manual for this one (boo!). Not to mention the interior is kinda lackluster IMO. I think the old R8's interior was starting to look a little dated, but I'm not fond of the new direction it's gone in, either. Oh well, I'm not buying one anyway.

R8's have held their value extremely well over time; Audis built in Neckarsulm (RS3/4/5/6/7/R8) don't tend to depreciate like their bread-and-butter counterparts. The original base MSRP in '08 was $109k; today the cheapest R8 I could find was an '08 with 58k miles for about $70k.

WOW do these pictures not do this car any justice whatsoever. Just came back from the Detroit auto show and boy do they look a lot better in person. I agree that these pictures make the car look bland, but wait until you see it in person before saying this car is fugly. For whatever reason certain cars just cannot be captured right on video/photograph. Take for example the new NSX - I guarantee most people who have seen pictures/video before seeing the new NSX in person will be blown away with how damn wide the car is.
