We haven’t heard a lot of the Audi PB-18 concept car since it’s presentation in 2018. But finally SuperCar Blondie ot the chance to see a neewer version of the electric sprotscar. It’s now called AI-RACE and Audi confirmed that 50 examples will make their way to production within the next two years.
The PB18 e-tron is powered by 3 electric motors, 1 on the front axle and 2 on the rear axle, sending power to all 4 wheels. It produces a combined 661 bhp (493 kW; 670 PS) and 612 lb⋅ft (830 N⋅m) of torque, with the capability to “overboost” to 753 bhp (562 kW; 763 PS) for short periods.[1] It uses a low-mid mounted 95kWh solid-state battery with an 800-volt charging capacity that Audi claims has a range of 361 mi (581 km) and can charge to full capacity in 15 minutes.[4] It supports conventional charging as well as Audi Wireless Charging (AWC) using a charging pad which can attach to the floor of a garage.[5] Audi also claims a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time of around 2 seconds. It also features an unconventional interior that allows the driver convert between a single-seater, central driving position and a conventional two-seater configuration with the driver on the left and a single fold down passenger seat on the right. This is made possible because the PB18 uses a drive by wire system, in which the main driving functions are controlled by the onboard computers. The PB18 provides 16.6 cubic feet of storage from its hatchback bodystyle.[6] It also features 22 inch wheels, carbon disc brakes and adaptive magnetic ride shock absorbers.
