Audi e-tron - electric car produces 313 hp and an incredible 3,319.03 lb-ft of torque
It looks like a faceliftet Audi TT to me
"Audi announced the all-electric e-tron Concept supercar at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. This electric car produces 313 hp and an incredible 3,319.03 lb-ft of torque."
Since torque is instant on electric motors Im curious what tire they plan on using to handle that 3000lbs of torque.

so far Tesla has had a difficult time creating a geared transmission that can hold up to the torque levels. IIRC this is why the Telsa Roadster is still only a 1spd (or maybe a 2spd now)

Damn that is a ****ing shitload of toque that thing must be hauling. Looks pretty good too. I bet you'd get more looks than driving any other car

A stock 03-04 Cobra can make 3683 ft-lb in first gear at the rear axle. For each gear change, there is less torque delivered to the rear axle due to the changing gear ratios. I am pretty sure the electric motors in the Audi loose alot of torque at higher RPMs. It does 0-60 4.8sec which is just OK for a sportscar. Good marketing tool to advertise axle torque.

^^^ lol to me the car looks like a r8 raped an audi tt and this was the baby. 3319.b-ft of torque!!! that would cut some crazy 60ft times, not sure how it would perform as the mph went up.

this is engine torque though, if you gear reduction a 350 ft/lb engine to make 3xxx torque a car with 3319 lb/ft gear reduced would be astronomical, but you dont have to gear reduce because you already have 3xxx lb/ft of torque. they will control this like an electric drill it called a stepp motor, you can have 0.1 lb/ft of torque or 3xxx lb/ft of torque or anywhere in between

useless, 1st off you can't apply that amount of force through a drivetrain at lowspeed without grenading it. 2ndly if you could it wouldn't hook up anyway. 100 bucks says this car will be hard pressed to go 12's in the quarter.
Electric motors make max torque at zero RPM. Torque falls off exponentially from there. At higher RPMs they have marginal torque. If it had 3000+ ft-lbs of torque throughout the RPM range, it would have much better performance than a 4.8sec 0-60 wouldn't ya think.
