AUDI RELEASES A NEW ELECTRIC CAR - DOES EVERYTHING NEED TO BE AN EGG

AUDI RELEASES A NEW ELECTRIC CAR - DOES EVERYTHING NEED TO BE AN EGG 

Audi releases there latest and gone are the 4.0L TT V8's in comes battery power that for starters beats the next to top level former Audi S6. The shape looks familiar, well the Germans are all near each other so the EQE, EQS Mercedes definitely come to mind. This latest from Audi is a forced hand for all manufacturers due to the EPA where electricity is the only way forward to save humanity, at least allegedly.  

Let's start at price for the current top level S6, $101K in Euro's yes with the dollar sign in front.  Walk down the performance from here, 0-60 3.7 seconds for the sedan, the sports back wagon does it in 3.9 seconds for a german estimate expect both to be .2 seconds faster than the official record. 10-80% charge can happen in under 21 minutes with the 100 KW battery, and if you want to drain it quickly stay at the top speed of 149 Miles Per Hour.  What else is cooking more of the screens for the interior, not as loud as the Benz or simple as the outdated but dare I say better looking Tesla Model S Plaid which is cheaper, faster, and has a better charging network (did Isay that outloud). The Audi makes a strong case for elegant but boring. To be honest writing the article tells me I wont have much more to say other than the beautiful interior they put together as most EV's are offering the same thing , 0-60 in under 4 seconds, silent ride, and heavy turning kind of redudant until you talk to Taycan Turbo GT owners, or the rarily seen Lucid Sapphire. 

Let's hit where this could be special, with a base price of $75K Euro, you can get a 5.4 second 0-60 car, with range of 466 Miles.... Now this could be a hallmark of range anxiety and the biggest introduction from a car manufacturer. Good looks, and great range make this an outstanding pick, the goodies are the same for all Apple, Google Play,Frunk, Trunk, Quick Accelaration and some crazy lighting design sorry for the enthusiasm but without the engine nothing more to say than is this Panasonic or LG.. Get an A6 or S6 near a dealership near you in Early 2025.
