I don't know anything about the E Tron, but the Super Bowl commercial was good

Don't like commercials but that was pretty good.

The one in the commercial looks great, it's a shame you can't buy it until sometime next year.

Didn't watch the commercial but then I am guessing it was about E-tron GT. Yes, that car looks amazing.

Bjorn shows how Audi made it easy for the consumer to use this EV at around 20:55

the concept cars tend to look pretty awesome.

What's with the huge grille on the front?? Batteries get so HOT they have to have air cooling? Or is it that they figure the average Audi buyer wants his car to look like a gas hog? Or maybe they had to use an engine because the car can't go that fast?

They're years behind the Tesla of six and a half years ago. Unless you must have a car that looks like it runs on gas.

Audi make great commercials (and cars). Their boast at the end of the commercial that one third of Audi's will be all-electric by 2025 seems a bit weak.

Actually they showed the car at the LA auto show and even gave some lucky journalist a chance to drive it. They said it's 90% production ready. We'll see.

I agree, pretty disappointing.

You mean the commercial that says if you buy an EV you will choke on a peanut and die!?

Superbowl Commercial:

Preproduction Drive:

 

[vickh]

price? 4 dr option?

 

[Patrick W]

He said door handles are required. Is that true? If so, why? I like the no handles look.

Superbowl Commercial:

Preproduction Drive:

isn't that the same car as in the only one? as in one of a kind (3:06 in the video) I will say it is SUUWEEEEET! though.

From what I read, the e-tron GT is based on the Porsche Taycan so it will come out after it.

 

[PhilDavid]

I have a feeling they will sell as many of them as they are able to produce and it will be the beginning of the end for premium ICE vehicles.

As a Tesla Model S fan, I think this will also compel Tesla to show some love to the Model S.

Somebody is trolling somebody. That grill is hilarious.

The quote below is from here: Don't Expect The 2020 Audi E-Tron GT, Or Any Other Audi EV, To Ditch The Massive Grille @ Top Speed

Lichte also talked about the grille, which isn’t a relevant part on an electric car, which means it’s only there to serve stylistic purposes. "For Audi, it would be a big mistake to remove the grille. For our customers, it’s the Audi DNA. Before 2004, we didn’t have a unique face. It is very important that we don’t desert our face. So we said, why not invert it? It’s body color. For me, it’s still an Audi but not with a combustion engine." He then added that "this is the face of all our future EVs."​
