kWh lithium-ion battery pack (from the Jetta Hybrid), which stores the kinetic energy recovered from regenerative braking; assists in the starting phase of the fuel cell; and adds a dynamic boost to the maximum acceleration of the Golf SportWagen. The fuel cell and battery power an electric motor adapted from the e-Golf.

Like the race engine of the RS Spyder, the 918 Spyder power unit features dry-sump lubrication with a separate oil tank and oil extraction. To save weight, components such as the oil tank, the air filter box integrated into the subframe and the air induction are made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer.

Meanwhile, outside the stack the electrons supply the electrical power. The entire fuel cell operates in the voltage range of 230 to 360 volts. Both the front and rear axles have no mechanical connections for the transmission of power. On battery power, the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro covers as much as 50 kilometers (31.1
