Spotted: Audi E-Tron Spyder

[TonyD]

Today I was up at Mulholland with a buddy. I turn the corner to the lookout, and I see two CHP flashing their lights with a Q7 and another car. Couldn't quite make out the car cause it was being blocked and driving away. I knew it would come back though because they were filming and an A7 and Q7 were still at the lookout full of germans wearing Audi t shirts. I didn't really talk to them because they didn't seem to know much english. So I see the caravan coming back up the road and it looks like an R8. Then it gets closer and from behind the trees I hear a turbo and knew it had to be something else. She pulls up, and my jaw just dropped. This is what I saw

Whoa indeed.

Nice catch, Tony.

you heard a turbo? are you sure it wasn't the whine of an electric motor? e-trons are electric right?

good looking car

[TonyD]

Check the 2nd video. I talked to one of the guys and he said it's electric and also TDI. This made my week.

For those that missed it elsewhere, the fellas at Autoweek were some of the lucky ones taking this baby for a spin...

9 out of 10 times I don't post 'em. When I do though, you can be assured they're worthy. [:D]

Jawdropper! Your fortunate to have seen this in person! As always Audi and their flawless sleek designs!

I don't like the guy's choice of background music for this video, but it has some better footage of the unveiling and the car.

Haha thats funny. That house you see in those first few pictures is crazy. I've been there a few times and it's about 30 seconds from the mulholland lookout. Audi took the house from that guy for a month or so for their promotion of the E-Tron. The guy has a 599 GTO, Carrera GT, and some other goodies.
