Namok, Most hybrids are a mix of a lot of technologies and it's just a concept but here is the first few lines from the link...
"The all-wheel-drive configuration was confirmed with Audi's excellent TSI turbocharged and supercharged engine powering the front wheels along with an electric motor at the rear. A lithium ion battery pack powers the 41 horsepower motor out back. Many commuters could perform their daily drive without ever needing to run the engine, but if they do, they'd be rewarded with 48 miles per gallon."
Does anyone can tell what is the hybrid architecture of this Audi Metroproject plug-in. Does it uses 2 motors, one for rear Quattro function and other to drive the front wheels?
or just one on the rear.
If one then does Audi have a separate starter/generator for dtart and stop?
TheRookie, Thanks, corrected.
