Audi e-tron Spyder
Audi presents the Audi e-tron Spyder, the study of an open sports car, at the fall 2010’s largest auto show. The show car, with plug-in hybrid drive, is 4.06 meters long, 1.81 meters wide and only 1.11 meters high. The two-seater is equipped with a 221-kW twin-turbo V6 TDI at the rear axle and two electric motors producing a total of 64 kW at the front axle.
The Audi e-tron Spyder’s low total weight of only around 1,450 kilograms ) combined with the high-torque TDI and the two electric motors results in respectable performance. The car accelerates to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds, and top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h.

This clearly looks as it would be designed “in the same universe” as the Porsche 918.
It really looks like an Audi and the Porsche looks like an Porsche – but they have quite similar design clues.
Further: I am not really sure, if this is the right direction for hybrid cars.
A V6 and electro motors at the front end? I rather like the idea, that the electro motors are connected with the drivetrain.
And… a 4 cylinder turbo would be enough – saving resources and pronouncing more the Hybrid aspect…
