The concept measured 195.3 inches in length, which is about the size of the internal-combustion powered A6, and we suspect the production version will also be this size.<\/p>\n<p>There will be some differences, of course, like slightly more ground clearance, as well as actual side mirrors instead of the show car&#8217;s camera stalks. The LED light bar that formed the taillights of the concept is also missing here, though we expect this to feature on the production model.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll notice the headlights here are also formed from twin elements, where the concept only featured thin slits at the top that formed the daytime running lights.

Audi used a dual-motor setup in the concept, rated at 469 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. Audi also said the concept was fitted with a 100-kwh battery good for more than 300 miles of range and capable of charging from 5-80% in less than 25 minutes thanks to 800-volt technology.
