[Audi A1] Audi A1 e-tron concept - dead!

[Andy_Bangle]

According to a report out of Italy, Audi boss Rupert Stadler has said that the Audi A1 e-tron concept will not see production. Apparently the house of Audi believes that the conventional A1 will be sufficiently frugal and kind enough on the environment with its stop/start and brake energy recovery system. Additionally, there seems to be some issues with the A1's platform and its ability to house all the necessary EV components. If true, 'tis a shame – that cargo-floor-mounted ****el engine paired with lithium-ion batteries was supposed to be good for 154 mpg.
