Audi R-Zero Electric Sports Car

This car is possibly the hottest concept electric car ever built! The Audi R-Zero concept bares an amazing resemblance to the Audi TT, Nissan 350Z, and Infiniti G35 coupe. Designers, Franck Levivier, Remi Marchand and Pierre-Olivier Wagner created this rolling work of art. For those of you who want to stop buying gas, but still be able to outrun the law can rest easy.Based on exterior design alone, you would expect that such a concept would involve a massive engine with a huge displacement and over 500 horsepower. Instead, the designers envision the R-Zero being, "powered by an electric motor yet offer a super car level of performance." The R-Zero will be able to generate the 800 volts of output using 2,645 pounds of high-tech lithium-ion batteries. All this power is delivered by four in-wheel electric motors weighing 187 pounds in total. Unfortunately it does not look like they will be using a carbon fiber chassis.
