Dream Ended Here – Audi R8 E-Tron won’t make it to production tracks

Yes, it’s looks amazing and ripping Nürburgring lap in only 8:09.099, but you won’t be able to drive 2013 Audi R8 E-Tron soon. It will be on sale, well… never.

For now they made 10 cars, for test and show, and you can enjoy seeing them ripping through German made asphalt on video below, you’ll never sit in one. Except if you are Audi’s test or race driver. The dream that one day we’ll drive it ended. But the new electric Audi’s will come.

Audi R8 E-Tron is glorious example of electric car, with impressive numbers 0-100 in 5.9 seconds with combined output of 150 kW (204 hp) and 2,650 Nm (1954.54 lb-ft).
