Audi’s electric supercar sparks interest ahead of Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance
PB18 e-tron concept car – offering drivers racing-car experience of sitting in centre of cockpit – features at events including Sunday’s classic car show
Every year, for a week in August, the glitzy, glamorous members of the motoring elite descend upon the streets of Monterey, California,
Traditionally, the various events held in Pebble Beach have been an opportunity for the rich and famous to see and be seen among a sea of automotive exotica.
These days things are a bit different.
The exotic cars are still there, but it has also developed into another car show for manufacturers to exhibit their latest and greatest models.
On Thursday, Audi did just that with the introduction of its new PB18 e-tron concept supercar on the Laguna Seca racetrack during the three-day Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion Reception.
The electric supercar will also be on show at the main event of the week-long series of activities, the classic car show, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, on Sunday.
It is a futuristic technology demonstrator created especially for Pebble Beach.
In fact, the “PB” in its name stands for Pebble Beach.
