Audi A1 e-Tron - Click above for high-res image gallery
According to a report out of Italy, Audi boss Rupert Stadler has said that the
Audi A1 e-tron concept will not see production. Apparently the house of Audi believes that the conventional A1 will be sufficiently frugal and kind enough on the environment with its stop/start and brake energy recovery system. Additionally, there seems to be some issues with the A1's platform and its ability to house all the necessary EV components. If true, 'tis a shame - that cargo-floor-mounted Wankel engine paired with lithium-ion batteries was supposed to be
good for 154 mpg, and the A1 e-tron is a package we would have enjoyed by being so green we made grass jealous.
