This spy shot reveals nothing other than the Audi eTron GT wrapped in camouflage. The eTron naming convention denotes an all-electric vehicle. In this case, the eTron GT is a low slung, 4-door sedan and will be based on the 2018 Geneva Motorshow concept. The 2018 eTron GT Concept looked like a low slung A7 but with wider and slightly flared front and rear fenders. In other words, it looked amazing.

The eTron GT is designated as a 4-door all-electric sports car. Power will be provided by two electric motors providing an equivalent output of 590bhp. Almost certainly the eTron GT will be four-wheel drive, Audi claims a 0-62 time of 3.5 seconds and a pure electric range of around 250 miles.

The Audi eTron GT is effectively borrowing the electric powerplant used by its Porsche Taycan cousin, however, the eTron GT will be in a ‘de-tuned’ state of power. Audi claims its rapid charging technology will offer charging times of 80 percent in 20 minutes.

Word on the street is the eTron GT Concept will be little changed when it goes into production later this year. The future of electric cars is going to be stylish, at least in Audi’s design parlance. But it’s also going to be heavy. The eTron GT will weigh just over 2-tonnes.

It’s fair to say the next stage of electric car development is to reduce the size and weight of the batteries whilst retaining power and range. Price? our best guess is around Porsche Taycan money… from £85,000 GBP.
