Gripping Short Film For All Enthusiasts Of Speed, Luxury And Environmental Harmony

The latest innovation from Audi has received much attention on the virtual screen.  A new video online shows just how the R8 e-tron tackled the Nurburgring.

The Audi R8 e-tron has just performed a record-breaking run at Germany’s Nurburgring.  The record for electric vehicles was smashed by the German driver Markus Winkelhock in his green German supercar.

A new lap record was set recently as he finished a lap in just eight minutes and nine seconds.  This represents a new record for an all-electric production vehicle.

Now, an online film has been made available which captures not just the amazing results of this innovative technology but intimately takes you on an exhilarating race around this legendary course.  You can be a co-driver in all eight and half minutes of footage.  Better than a video game, the real-life tour of the ‘Ring is gripping in all its twists and turns and straights.

What is unique about this recording that sets it apart from any Formula One Grand Prix is the soundtrack.  You can more easily tune in to the rush of the wind racing past the car and the feel of the tyres as they grip to every centimeter of the track.  Winkelhock really pushed the boundaries with this individual lap.  See how he manoeuvres the car around every inch of the track and get a view that is better than ringside.  Camera angles are used dynamically to show just how close you can get to the tarmac.  Follow the counter as you hold your breath and wait to see if you are a spectator to history in the making.

You can look forward to more details about this incredible Audi at the Paris Motor Show next month when it is launched.  With such expectation, it is sure to be an amazing debut.
