At the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (2015 IAA) last week, Audi took the wraps off the e-tron quattro concept which is powered by three electric motors, and has a maximum range of over 500 km. The concept is confirmed to evolve into a production model in early 2018 and a rendering from automotive illustrator Shoeb Kalania previews how the production version will possibly look like.
Save for some dramatic styling elements, the e-tron quattro concept appears to be near-production structurally. The exterior design is expected to borrow cues from the Audi Q7, as depicted in the rendering.
