The Audi R8, you know it. Well, now you're about to learn about the R8 E-Tron, which embodies the latest electric motor trend. Lean you wouldn't say, with 456bhp and 679lb ft of torque at the rear wheels.

For the record, however, the all-electric Audi R8 recorded a time of 8.09.099 on the 20.8 kilometres of track hell, with race driver Markus Wilkenhock at the wheel.
