The Audi R-Zero is a concept car revealed in 2006, developed by the premium German car manufacturer Audi, in tandem with two transportation design students. The front of the concept bears a strong resemblance to the Bugatti Veyron's unique fascia.
Audi R Zero You probably wouldn't guess by looking at it, but that zero in R Zero stands for no emissions, indicating that this stunning creation is actually an electric car. Before you go dismissing the R Zero as another tree hugger special that's all show and no go, let me tell you that the four electric motors (one per wheel) in the R Zero deliver a amazing total of 1,091 horsepower. This means that despite the weight of all its batteries, the R Zero streaks from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds on its way up to 286 mph.
An electric speedster reminiscent of the early 90's Batmobile, this car is as sexy as it is clean!
