By comparison, an asynchronous motor’s rotor rotates slower than a synchronous speed. The body and roof of the e-tron GT are made of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), and the car uses the same multi-material construction philosophy as other Audi vehicles like the A8.

The XL1 is aggressively optimized for efficiency in all areas of its design and technology—from materials (carbon fiber reinforced polymer monocoque); to powertrain (0.8L Comparison of electric drive fuel consumption (kWh/100 miles). By comparison, a Volkswagen Polo is slightly longer (156.3 Click to enlarge.

liters/100 km in comparison with the benchmark vehicle. In order to cover as many realistic solutions as possible to minimize EOLAB’s weight, the project team also took a look at polymers. The type and proportion of the glass fibers mixed with these polymers vary as a function of the properties required for each end-use (e.g.
