Just two weeks after the Audi R18 e-tron quattros took victory at Le Mans the e-tron name is back on track. Audi has been developing an electric version of the Audi R8, aptly named the Audi R8 e-tron. Audi armed with their new technology and Audi R8 cars went to the Nürburgring Nordschleife to challenge the electric road car lap record. With Markus Winkelhock behind the wheel the Audi R8 e-tron set a best lap of 8m09,099s, a new record. A video of the record attempt is included bellow, enjoy:
