Coolest roadster from Audi

The 2014 Audi e-tron Spyder was a major head turner when it was first revealed, not only because of its eye-catching exterior but because of what is hiding under the hood. The new Audi e-tron Spyder sports an all-new plug-in diesel hybrid electric drivetrain.

The e-tron Spyder may appear to be the convertible version of the e-tron coupe that was revealed in Detroit, but the Spyder variant happens to be 5.1 inches longer and 1.2 inches wider. But to give you an idea of what a small platform the e-tron Spyder operates on, the current Audi TT still manages to be 4.7 inches longer than the e-tron Spyder.
 
The important thing here is the long-term implications of this platform. The prototype of the e-tron Spyder may showcase what’s to come from Audi in terms of future designs of its vehicle lineup. It may also be a hint at future drivetrain platforms from Audi since manufacturers such as Nissan and Chevrolet already have plug-in electric cars available for sale to the public.

The look of this car is simply gorgeous. Huge grille with sleek headlights make it look aggressive. It has a 3.0 liter turbodiesel V-6 engine with a CVT Transmission. CVT stands for constant variable transmission.

Electric car plug-in hybrid can run up to a top speed of 250 kph (155.34 mph). And can accelerate from 0-100 kph (62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds, this car is expected to be produced in 2014 as a production model of the Audi TT. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | AUDI | UNFINISHEDMAN]
