Will cost how many Audi e-tron while, naturally, it is not informed, but nobody hides that it will be the most expensive serial Audi for all history of existence of the company.
Let's remind that the premiere concept e-tron has passed in September of this year on a motor show in Frankfurt. Electric super car was at this exhibition one of the most interesting exhibits. Still, after all this car is set in motion by four electric motors (one on each wheel) which eat from the litievo-ionic accumulator battery located behind seats and having liquid cooling. Total capacity of motors in peak reaches 313 horsepowers, and the size of the maximum twisting moment and is at all magnificent. Already from zero "turns" cursors in the sum give out attention! 4500 Nm.
Thanks to such indicators! A coupe from a place to 100 km/h dispersed all for 4,8 sec only. Maximum speed could be and above, but developers have decided to limit it on a mark of 200 km/h. On high speeds too much energy leaves on overcoming of aerodynamic resistance and resistance. All-wheel drive e-tron possesses the expressed rear-wheel habits as 70 % of pull-rod almost always are necessary on rear wheels.

Beautiful Duster to name difficult. The car at the Romanian designers has turned out any gloomy, but, probably, they and achieved it. After all for off-road cars similar appearance – the blessing. Especially when target audience are men. However, it is necessary to tell at once that high-grade off-road car Dacia Duster nevertheless is not. Yes, it will have an all wheel drive system and a road gleam in 200 mm. But thus the car will do without a powerful frame, and blocking of differentials here too will not appear (after all at the heart of Duster the platform from Logan) lies. Besides, Dacia will begin release and budgetary versions with a drive gear only on one shaft.
Well and under cowl Duster will start to put well familiar to us on model Logan the gasoline engine in volume of 1,6 l (110 h.p.). Also there will be a 1,5-litre diesel engine in two versions: 85 h.p. and 105 h.p. Base complete set Duster will appear not too rich (but silly to expect updates from such cheap off-road car). But, nevertheless, the car will receive ABS, two pillows of safety (installation of four pillows is possible). As an option antispin system will be offered.
