Audi R8 e-tron gets canceled after only 100 models built

Audi R8 e-tron gets canceled after only 100 models built: The Audi R8 e-tron is dead, at least that's what people say about those 100 models built of all-electric Audi models. That's a bad end for what could've been a beginning of a new era, but we still have those 100 models built and believe in a good future.

That's the production number the R8 e-tron failed to reach. Only a few were built, but got sold out furtively, and only in Europe, in a strange back-channel in which dealers referred potential buyers right to Audi HQ, says the report. All of these transactions happened without the benefit of an online configurator or any published materials.
