e-tron connect: Audi e-tron GT Road Version Test Mule Finally Spied

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="44284"] Editor's note: This article was originally posted on our sister site, e-tron connect When Audi revealed the e-tron GT little over a year ago, it did so suggesting that the road car would strongly resemble the production car.

Earlier ICE Audi models like the first-generation Audi TT, the Pikes Peak concept that eventually became the Q7,...

Rain did with this Q7 pickup. Finally a competitor to the Lincoln Mark LT! Like I said, fantasy buil...

And, unlike the e-tron shown in Geneva, this one will skip the more obvious crossover configuration and instead go low-slung and sporty that should be more appealing to car enthusiasts. Sharing the above image with att...
