Audi has thrilled the performance car enthusiasts by unveiling the e-tron Vision Gran Turismo. Recently turned into reality, the virtual car was originally conceived to mark the 15th anniversary of the Gran Turismo racing game on the Sony PlayStation console. The electric powered supercar will be used as race taxis to perform exhibition runs at the Formula E events.
The e-tron Vision Gran Coupe is powered by three electric motors – two on the rear axle and one on the front. Each of the electric motor generates 272bhp of power which when combined, produces about 816bhp of power. The car is built around a super-strong steel spaceframe for maximum safety that keeps the overall weight in check at the same time. The company claims that the e-tron Vision Gran Coupe is capable of sprinting from 0-100kmph in just about 2.5 seconds. This means that it is quick enough to compete against the McLaren 720S.
To give a brief glimpse of the vehicle and provide a real time experience the e-tron Vision Gran Turismo, the German car manufacturer will offer high-speed rides to selective customers and guests during the Formula E race weekends.
