    Looks like Batman could drive that...it sounds like an airplane at 1:15. :)

    I like this clip of the TS030. Sounds pretty mean:

    Both great videos and awesome cars but I did find something amusing. The Audi sounds like a jet engine and then coming out of the hairpin sounds like a Dodge/Cummins engine, cool.

    Call me a dinosaur or a purist, but I miss the sounds of internal combustion engines!

    Just weird and will take some getting used to.

    Hybrid and other green technologies are becoming all the rage. Audi is presently in the midst of rolling out its line of electric/hybrid technology, which it calls e-Tron. The first e-Tron cars are set to debut in the near future. According to Inside Line, Audi has fitted one of its prototype race cars, the R18, with e-Tron technology. The R-18 e-Tron quattro uses two electric motors to drive the front wheels and a 3.7-liter, 503 horsepower turbodiesel V-6 to drive the rear wheels, along with KERS technology to capture electricity from braking. Since both front and rear axles are being driven, it thus has four-wheel-drive, a must for any respectable Audi. Article source: Big push coming for Audi e-Tron line .
