The Audi E-Tron S and E-Tron S Sportback can accelerate to 62 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds and reach 131 mph.

Seems like someone here on the forum is waiting for an EV with torque vectoring eh? 🤓

Nice. Three electric motors is good news. Now if Audi can place it in the upcoming Q4, it would be very interesting.

I would still prefer a sedan over a SUV but at least with BEVs, the cost to drive a SUV over a sedan is not much different, except maybe for shorter driving distances because of the higher coefficient of drag.

Hm, why slow compared to Model X? Kind of feels like it should do better than 4.5s 0-100kmh with 500 electric hp?
It is going to be priced probably similar to Model X.

Be sure to read the press release , lots of technical stuff on performance and motors and vectoring😏
Is a cool ride I’d drive one .

Still amused by how hard they try to win the numbers war against Tesla. 8 seconds of over-discharging just to get better-looking numbers.

Try harder VAG.

I would rather take a 5 second 0-60 BEV with electric motor torque vectoring than a 3 second one without (as long as most other specs are comparable) as I don't think I will enjoy driving a boat.
