Audi makes the Prologue a 734-hp all-terrain quattro crossover - Gizmag

At 605 hp (451 kW) and 455 hp (339 kW), respectively, the Prologue and Prologue Avant were no slouches, but the Prologue allroad takes power to new heights. All that torque makes the allroad the quickest of the Prologue concepts, slingshotting to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3. 5 seconds. Packing the power and speed of a supercar into a large, capable body is a coup in itself, but Audi also adds an impressive helping of efficiency. The electric motor can drive the car on its own for up to 33. 6 miles (54 km). Power comes from a rear-mounted 14. 1-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that is charged via the wireless charging system Audi is developing for series production. Audi estimates fuel consumption at 98 mpg US (2. 4 L/100 km) and CO2 emissions at 90g/mi (56 g/km), which look awfully beautiful lined up next to those power, torque and acceleration figures. The allroad maneuvers under guidance from a dynamic all-wheel steering system built to "harmoniously resolve the conflict between dynamic driving and stability. As was true with its predecessors, the highlight of the allroad's interior is the cabin-wide digital display system. The system puts Audi's triple-layer virtual cockpit directly in front of the driver and flanks the steering wheel with left and right infotainment touchscreens. Source: www.gizmag.com
