Incorrect. Iron Man 3 is (like many movies) about fantasy. Model S isn't a fantasy like the E-tron is.Should have been a Model S
My thinking was they put the real Elon in the movie why not the real Model S?Incorrect. Iron Man 3 is (like many movies) about fantasy. Model S isn't a fantasy like the E-tron is.
Prove me wrong, Audi. Bring it.
Sorry, I meant exists in something beyond a publicity stunt, prototype, concept car, trial, pilot, or compliance car -- i.e. a real production car.Technically, didnt it already win a race? It exists, just nor consumers.

My recollection is that the "record setting production electric car" runs by the E-Tron were done with a modified -- i.e. non-production -- vehicle.It ran the 'ring in 8:09, which was not far off the ICE R8.

My recollection is that the "record setting production electric car" runs by the E-Tron were done with a modified -- i.e. non-production -- vehicle.
It was discussed in some depth in a previous thread.
Audi has confirmed to Autocar that, currently, it has no plans to sell its all-electric R8 e-tron sports car.
Ten of the latest design of R8 e-tron have been built but they will be used exclusively for internal testing and development only.
It's thought that the the cars won't be offered to customers because battery technology hasn't advanced as fast as Audi expected.
Consequently the cost of the batteries has not fallen as much as the company forecast, making the R8 e-tron unviable for series production.
There are also rumours that Audi is not willing to accept the limited range and long charging times that are a result of current battery technology.
In a recent press release, however, it stated: "Through the R8 e-tron, Audi has acquired extensive expertise that will benefit its electrified production models."
The electric Audi R8 e-tron, which uses a lithium-ion battery and a pair of two electric motors, is capable of 0-62mph in 4.2sec.
It's electronically limited to 124.27mph and, in optimal conditions, capable of covering 133.59 miles.
Looks like there is some movement on Audi's side.

EV range isn't very impressive, but if I had to chose between the Ampera and the A3 e-tron, I would go for the Audi.
