To say the e-Tron car is insane is like saying Kayne West has no class. The German automaker set out to prove electric cars can rival the best sports cars, so it gave the all-wheel-drive two-seater 230 kilowatts (313 horsepower) and a staggering 3,319 pound-feet of torque.
That’s not a typo. We’ll pause for a moment to let you absorb that.
To put that number in perspective, the Tesla Roadster, arguably the benchmark for production electric sports cars, produces 276 foot-pounds. The Dodge Viper gets 600 out of its huge V10. The Bugatti Veyron puts down 922. And the M1 Abrams tank produces 2,750 (at 3,000 RPM)
