Top speed of 18mph, and a range of 15 miles? Charges in only two
hours? No, this isn't the future of transportation we're talking about
here, it's a toy. A toy from Audi, of all places. The company has
created this electric-powered and half-scale recreation of an Auto
Union Type C, grand prix racer of the late 1930s, and done it in e-
tron guise, applying the moniker from its grown-up line of EVs, like
the luscious e-tron Spyder. This one's intended for kids of all ages
-- so long as they're shorter than 5'11'' -- and it will be on display
at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg. At this point there's no
mention of a plan to produce it nor a price if Audi did, but surely
it's one of those "if you have to ask" things -- that body is entirely
made of carbon fiber, and that stuff doesn't come cheap.
