Elegend wants to revive Audi Quattro

The new e-car start-up wants to bring old classics back onto the market. However, the Audi replica will only be produced 30 times.

The new e-car provider Elegend wants to relaunch old car sports cars, this time as an electrically powered vehicle. The first car EL1 is very reminiscent of the Audi Quattro, which was built until 1991. Just like the classic, the EL1 is to have all-wheel drive, but this time electrically powered and four times as powerful (600 kW). A run of just 30 cars is planned for the sports coupe. The Quattro double is said to have a top speed of 255 kilometers per hour, as well as 816 hp. From 0 to 100 kilometers per hour it goes with it in 2.8 seconds. In race mode, however, you can only do two laps around the Nürburgring. Otherwise, the vehicle has a range of 400 kilometres.

The prototype is to be presented next year. The EL1 should be on the market from the end of 2023. The cost is just over one million euros. E-Legends is planning further models. The EL2 could be a reminiscence of the Lancia Stratos, the legendary rally car presented in 1970, writes Auto Motor Sport.

In addition, founder Marcus Holzinger is looking for investors as well as wealthy buyers. Holzinger plans to found a public limited company. One share is to be issued for 290 euros.
