Audi’s E-Tron R18 Racer Sounds Like A Fighter Jet


Holy. Crap. Audi built a serious race-car with the E-Tron R18. Here it is whipping around corners at over 300km/h, with no sign of a wiggle or a drama. The best part? It sounds like a goddamn jet.

The car we see in this video is actually the Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro: a hybrid version of the R18 that minces tracks all over the world.

It has a special electric system that accumulates energy and unleashes it on the front wheels for extra push and four-wheel drive at speeds above 120km/h. I think we can safely say that system is at work in this video.
