An electric sports car? Could this be an answer to gas-guzzling super cars?

The R-Zero has its battery packs mounted amidship and that energy is sent to electric motors contained within the wheels. Perhaps the most unique element of the R-Zero is a central tunnel that spans the length of the vehicle from the now familiar gaping Audi grille to a large vent in the center of the rear fascia. The tunnel is meant to cool the batter packs as well as contribute to the vehicle's aerodynamics.

An amazing idea that might actually work. The styling reminds me of the Bugatti Veyron.

We don't know the Audi's specs, but you can't deny that the Venturi is quite impressive.

I just saw the actual concept. 350Z killer! They won't make it though. Its too good to be true. Put a gasoline engine in it, problem solved.
