E-Tron Audi Second Generation Coming in Detroit

Car is named 'Showcar Detroit Audi e-Tron' (DSA e-Tron). He called the new variant for electric vehicle e-Tron next generation. Previously Audi has confirmed that about 1,000 e-Tron will be made.

DSA e-Tron coupe comes with a style more traditional and set himself apart from the e-tron'reguler '. Besides, he's just using two units of electric motor that drives the rear wheels only. Not four as in the previous e-Tron.

The two electric motors, capable of providing 150kW (201bhp) with a torque of 2.650Nm although Audi chose to measure the total torque at the wheels that is actually closer to between 200-300Nm), the new concept of e-Tron DSA is designed to be able to accelerate from 0 -- 100 km / h in just 5.9 seconds.

Di'pantek speed 'at 200 km / h, and thanks to the spontaneous torque provided by electric motors, these vehicles can be raced from 60 to 120 km / h in just 5.1 seconds.

With a weight weighing 1.350kg, DSA e-Tron gives 40:60 weight distribution thanks to 400kg lithium-ion batteries mounted on the front of the rear wheels. To keep the weight does not increase, this vehicle uses Audi's Space Frame (ASF) which combined aluminum and reinforced with carbon fiber mix.

According to Audi, e-Tron variant last able to travel 250km for charging the battery once. The battery is fully charged will return after he was in-charge for 11 hours.

Electro-mechanical brake system allows the recovery of his better energy with a hydraulic brake KALIPER fixed 'dead' on the front axle and two braking KALIPER 'floating' electrically driven at the rear axle.

KALIPER 'floating' is electrically activated considered better than a mechanical system or a hydraulic mechanism, to eliminate friction when the brakes are not used. Because apart from the brake pedal, the electric motor E-Tron can turn deceleration energy into electricity to help restore energy that has been used.

Like the concept of e-Tron before, DSA e-Tron uses 19-inch wheel diameters of 35 bars, wrapped in 235/35 tires dimension front and 255/35 at the rear. But not yet known whether Audi would put this vehicle in production lines or will be made of 1,000 units.
