It seems like the German company is planing to make further steps on this development pathway. Audi is reportedly going to present an R4 e-tron roadster concept at the upcoming Paris Auto Show.
As you can imagine, the details about the upcoming vehicle are limited, but it seems like the only important difference between the two R4s will be the topless status.
As the R4 is set to enter production in the future, we could also expect the German automotive producer to offer an open air incarnation for its future baby R8, with the vehicle expected to use an internal combustion engine.
We’ll remind you that the R4 e-tron coupe is powered by two electric motors that deliver a combined output of 150 kW (204 hp). The electric units are fed with electricity coming from a lithium-ion battery pack. The vehicle offers a good performance level, as it needs 5.9 seconds to cover the sprint from 0 to 62 mph and can reach an electronically limited top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h).
autoevolution will be attending the 2010 Paris Auto Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.
