The new, electric Audi A8 will rival the BMW i7 rival with high levels of luxury and tech, becoming the most powerful Audi EV yet
Armed with a sizeable, 120kWh lithium ion battery, which is expected to make production, the Grandsphere had a claimed 466-mile range. That figure is expected to decrease slightly when the car dons numberplates and is fully homologated but it should still offer one of the longest ranges of any EV on sale.
The car will also be equipped with 800V charging functionality so will be one of the fastest to top up, netting a maximum charging speed of 270kW. More intriguingly, early indications suggest it could be the most powerful car in the Audi stable when it is launched. The concept packed 711bhp and 708lb ft – more than today’s V8-propelled
Competition – for a near-4.0sec 0-62mph, and while those figures will not be exactly replicated by the production car, they hint at an outright focus on performance.
