Madness

At the ongoing Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi recently unveiled e-tron - which is powered by four electric motors that generate 230kW (313bhp) of power for the car’s Quattro variable four-wheel drive system.

The combined torque of those four motors? 4500Nm (3319lb/ft), Audi said.

The net result of all that oomph is a 0-62mph time of 4.8 seconds and limited top speed of 125mph, Audi added.
