no 3,319 lb-ft is correct i believe i have seen it in a few places and that why locomotives and ships use electric motors to move connected to generators.

but yes 3319 is absurd and completely useless in a car like this.
and is why hybrid pickup truks will be inevitable and a good thing when done right.

still want my gas powered sports car though.

at 3319 lb ft of torque, i’m beginning to question whether this could fit into the q7. There would be a good suv

Why is someone who can afford this car an “idiot”?? I like this car better than a the Tesla simply because it has AWD and the dealer network is huge. Can’t wait to drive one….maybe I will buy one and become one of those “idiots”. I already own several electric vehicles and drive them all the time so I guess according to “lemonade” I’m already an idiot” Namecalling won’t get you anywhere.

It’s all good, France exports it women in trade for rich men. I’m sure there will be enough buyers to cover the market.

^Borat has the brain capacity of a toddler, if you haven’t noticed.

Nice to see Audi can put an electric concept that just showed itself a month ago into production around the same time as the Volt.

Borat, makes sense. If I was French and had money I’d leave to.

status, actually 6 figure price tag will protect France from large number of those. There aren’t that many rich Frenchman in France.

I’m sure this will be a hot seller in France! Audi really goofed on the name of this one.
