Photo of wrong car

There were two e-tron concepts produced by audi. The first one was based on the R8, and it is featured in the photo in this article. The second e-tron concept was based on the smaller chassis first scene in the VW Concept Bluesport. This autoblog article features the correct concept car for reference: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/18/report-audi-r4-to-launch-in-2013-slotted-below-the-tt/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.64.48 (talk • contribs) 04:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Article subject

AFAIK, the "Audi R4" is (so far) entirely speculative; there have been no official announcements of an R4 production model. In fact, recent press speculation has referred to an "R5" model instead.[1] Hence this article contravenes the WP:CAR guideline on future models. Also, the "Quattro concept" concept car is not closely related to the e-tron concepts, being based on the RS5, and hence doesn't belong here. I think this article should be retitled and focus on the e-tron concept cars only. Letdorf (talk) 11:23, 4 October 2010 (UTC).

I've now rewritten the article accordingly, and split the quattro concept content into a new article. Letdorf (talk) 23:34, 5 October 2010 (UTC).

Iron Man 3

Tony drives this vehicle during the end scene of Iron Man 3 when he pulls away towing a trailer with his extinguisher robot from the rubble of his home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.14.164.47 (talk) 09:35, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, he is driving an R8 e-tron. The car from the movie could never actually be bought, but it has been re-introduced for the second generation of the R8. Mariusoei (talk) 19:03, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Merge Audi R8 etron atricle

I think the article about the Audi R8 etron should be merged into this article. There is no mention of the R8 e-tron 2.0 that was introduced in 2015. Mariusoei (talk) 19:03, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

File:Audi e-tron (Edit1).jpg to appear as POTD soon

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Audi e-tron (Edit1).jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 17, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-10-17. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:50, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Picture of the day

The premiere of the Audi e-tron at the 2009 International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany. This two-seat electric car, similar in appearance to the Audi R8 but slightly smaller, was powered by four UQM Technologies motors and could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.8 seconds. The lithium-ion battery provided a range of approximately 248 km (154 mi). Although the vehicle was slated for production in 2012, production was canceled owing to its limited all-electric range. In 2014, Audi began producing the car upon request.Photograph: Thomas Wolf; edit: LiveChocolate

Merge Audi e-tron and Audi hybrid vehicles

I propose to combine the articles into one. Audi e-tron and Audi hybride vehicles. --Anton V. (talk) 17:26, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

No. Audi are planning to use the e-tron name for their future all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Just like BMW have the sub-brand BMW i, and Mercedes-Benz the EQ for their electric vehicles. Audi are already using the e-tron name on the A3 hybrid, and the next to use the e-tron name is their first BEV, a SUV, coming later this year. No need to merge them as the old cars has nothing to do with the e-tron name. Also it is better for the future. This article will become longer as more models with the e-tron name are released.

I am opening this topic again. Audi will use the e-tron name for their electric cars, with four already confirmed (e-tron SUV, e-tron Sportback, e-tron GT and a compact electric SUV), shouldn't the concepts be moved to the concept article as they have nothing to do with the production models. Also this will make the article cleaner and easier to read, and be a family article about the e-tron production cars like BMW i and Mercedes-Benz EQ. Audi have planned 12 EVs and they will be standalone models rather than electric versions of existing cars. I am trying to clean up this page, but just want your thoughts. (https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/audi-e-tron-one-twelve-electric-audis-launch-2025, https://electrek.co/2019/01/10/audi-small-electric-suv-compete-tesla-model-y/) --SideMaster (talk) 20:08, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

I think the Audi e-tron production cars and Audi e-tron concepts should be two different articles but the e-tron and hybrid vehicles can be merged and the information updated and cleaned up would be a good idea. Cbenyola (talk) 01:38, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Three sources with tons of information to update this page on the new Audi e-tron. Current e-tron pictures and concepts and future Audi plans regarding e-tron models. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1119084_audi-to-expand-plug-in-hybrid-range-alongside-e-tron-electric https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a25412202/2019-audi-e-tron-suv-driven/ https://www.audiusa.com/models/audi-e-tron-gt Three creditable sources of information for the page to soon be updated. Cbenyola (talk) 01:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

• Strong oppose e-tron is a brand name. It doesn't cover all Audi hybrid vehicles, doing so would be revisionist and ignoring decades of Audi history and WP:COATRACK the e-tron article. Further, there are some that are all-electric, so Audi hybrids doesn't cover all e-trons, which would WP:COATRACK the hybrid article, so in neither case does this make sense. -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 04:10, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. Some of Audi's e-tron vehicles are hybrid, but not all Audi hybrids are e-tron. 111.68.115.165 (talk) 07:52, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Update

I would like to update the information on this page in a couple ways. The first way being to update the pictures to reflect Audi's current e-tron model and concepts( Audi e-tron, Audi e-tron GT concept and Audi PB18 concept). The next way is to update the information and specs about the current SUV Audi e-tron, Audi's first fully electric car available for sale now. The last way is to update Audi's plans for future models and their goal for electric vehicles. I have three sources that I previously stated on this talk page that I will pull information from.

This page should be renamed back to "Audi e-tron"

I saw that it redirect to this page with the word "brand" when I typed "Audi e-tron", I suggest that someone should renamed back to this name instead Guyrichtheman (talk) 07:48, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, perhaps it should, since Audi e-tron is currently a redirect back to this page. But cutting and pasting is not a valid way to move articles with a significant edit history. Instructions for requesting page moves are at WP:RM. older ≠ wiser 12:42, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Audi e-tron (brand) → Audi e-tron – The article Audi e-tron is currently redirected to the Audi e-tron (brand) article. I think the "Audi e-tron" name will refer to the family electric cars since the Audi e-tron vehicle has renamed it to Audi Q8 e-tron. Should we revert it back? Guyrichtheman (talk) 01:42, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

• Support because the base form of the name is a redirect back here. JIP | Talk 10:48, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
