Audi says it will begin delivering the production version of the e-tron GT electric saloon in early 2021 after unveiling the concept at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week.
The e-tron GT stores over 90 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity and has a range of over 400km (248 miles).
The concept also features two motors, four seats, 590 horsepower and the ability to accelerate from zero to just under 100km/h (60 miles per hour) in around 3.5 seconds.
Using an 800-volt charger, the e-tron GT concept can also charge to 80 per cent of its capacity in around 20 minutes.
Audi did not announce a price for the production version of the e-tron GT concept, but it is likely to compete with Tesla’s Model S saloon, which starts at US$78,000.
The Model S has a maximum range of 540km and can accelerate from zero to just under 100km/h in 2.5 seconds.
