Audi A1 e-Tron
As you may know already Audi is working hard on its upcoming electric cars, but today we find out something new regarding these cars. It appears that the German manufacturer is planning to use e-Tron designation for its electric vehicles, just like the current vehicles bear the "quattro" designation. According to the latest reports, Audi will produce an initial run of 100 units of its e-tron electric sports car at the Ingolstadt factory in 2012, but an expansion of the production volume to 1000 units is planned. The first electric car will be based on the E-Tron Concept, unveiled back in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show and will use a modified platform as well as its aluminum construction from the R8 sports car.
