Audi A3 Sportback e tron

Audi A3 Sportback e-tron
 The German luxury car Audi is presenting the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron during the upcoming International Motor Show in Geneva, which opens the first week of March.

This is another example of a rush job that adelabta the house with the four rings in the electrification of the propulsion plug-in hybrid technology.

A system power of 204 hp (150 kW) and a torque of 350 Nm systems ensure extraordinary sporting performance in the Audi A3 e-tron.

Again, this is a car that carries all the genes of Audi. It accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 7.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 222 km / h. Respecting ECE plug-in hybrid car, the five-door travels 252.4 miles per gallon (66.7 km / l or 1.5 liters of fuel per 100 km), which corresponds to a volume of CO2 emissions of 35 g / km. In pure electric mode, the Audi A3 e-tron has a top speed of 130 km / h, with a maximum range of 50 km.

As combustion engine uses a modified 1.4 TFSI delivers an output of 150 hp (110 kW). Via a clutch, the TFSI cooperates with an electric motor 75 KW yields.

The electric motor is hard as a change is made Tronic six-speed new design that distributes the power between the front wheels. Both powertrain are complementary: the electric motor provides maximum torque from start until about 2,000 rpm, the TFSI reaches its maximum pulling power in the range of between 1,750 and 4,000 rpm.

The Audi A3 e-tron is able to move only with the combustion engine, electric engine only or in hybrid mode.

Since electric mode provides a powerful acceleration without simultaneously connecting the TFSI. Both engines are active together only if the driver so desires (boost). When the driver releases the accelerator, are temporarily disabled (sailing). Thus, it eliminates the braking torque of the engine and increases the efficiency.

At the International Motor Show in Geneva, the Audi A3 e-tron offers a realistic view of the future of mobility, as envisaged by Audi. The powertrain electrification, especially thanks to plug-in hybrid technology, plays a decisive role in the strategy of the brand.
