Audi R8 e-tron Prototype 2014

SPECIFICATIONS

INFORMATION

The prototype is based on the R8 and follows closely the original concept, with a shape reminiscent of existing V8 and V10 petrol-powered versions. Audi claims the production version of the R8 e-tron will be capable of a 0–100 km/h time of around 4.8 seconds. Initial plans call for its top speed to be limited to 200 km/h to protect the charge of the battery. It is planned for launch in early 2012. This will be Audi's first zero-emission sports car.

After developing 10 prototypes for research and development purposes, in May 2013 Audi decided to put on hold the production of the electric car due to its limited all-electric range as battery technology did not advanced as fast as Audi had expected, making the R8 e-tron unviable for series production.

In March 2014 Audi revised its decision and announced it will build the R8 e-tron upon customer request. The carmaker explained that their latest development work resulted in an increased range from 215 km to approximately 450 km. The limited production R8 e-tron will be based on the R8 new-generation platform.

The Limiter was changed to a Top Speed of 300 km/h during the Nurburgring Run, otherwise it's set to a top speed of 200km/h to protect it's batteries

The only car that might be able to compete with is the GTbyCitroen concept or Tesla Model S, probably the latter as the rest that you listed are not even in the game.
