However, it isn't clear if it will join any of Audi's existing model ranges (A3, A5, A7, etc) or will be badged as a completely new model.

"Such a car is under development," said Hackenberg. "I was able to re-engineer the R8 e-tron project and technology with the team and we are on the way to a range of 450km.” He added that the R8 e-tron project was a trailer for another long-range electric car, however the upcoming model will not be a sports car.

The company did not reveal any further details, but experts suggest that the Audi's upcoming all-electric car will adopt a saloon body. The large size will make the car more practical and also allow the company to package the large battery pack under the large floor, without encroaching upon boot and passenger space.
