Audi R-Zero Electric Sports Car Concept

R Zero

I don’t really have much information on it yet, but there is some information concerning Audi’s newest concept, the R-Zero Electric Sports Car. The first time I heard of this car and saw it, I was instantly reminded of F-Zero, the awesome game for Super Nintendo way back when. It looks like one of the crafts in the game and it sounds like it’s named after the game. The most interesting features include the electric motors in each wheel, ran by battery packs in the center of the car, and the tunnel in the car running the whole length of the car from the front to the back. The tunnel is not only for aerodynamics, but also to cool the battery packs.

Notice a similarity? Audi has no official tie to the car yet, but is more a concept by three design students. I’m not really sure how I feel about the looks, but it’s not ugly. The picture above reminds me of the new Mitsubishi Eclipse, only backwards, and this picture below is very similar to the Maybach Excelero. More info after the jump.

This is a very cool looking car, and I wish Audi would get it in production. Which, of course, won’t happen because Audi is rather known for producing cool concepts but always leaving them on the drawing board. Kinda like Cadillac, which is a shame.
