hey it's Chris from the verge and I'm standing in front of the Audi e-tron Quattro concept a Tron stands for hydrogen now this isn't Odie's first hydrogen concept car but it is very much a concept there are a few real parts of it it's previewing some of the piloted driving technologies that will debut in next model years out ei8 flagship sedan for instance but this car itself this squat SUV this low to the ground sort of off-road vehicle with the hydrogen fuel cell is still a few years off yet the powertrain still needs some work and more importantly the hydrogen infrastructure doesn't really exist yet toad is fighting the same problem with its hydrogen cars and they're working on networks in California and one in the Northeast Corridor but nationally globally the network to refuel a fuel cell vehicle hydrogen fuel cell vehicle just isn't there right now let's talk about specs on this a stron 0-60 in under 7 seconds that's respectable interestingly Chevy is also quoting under 7 seconds for the bolt so similar there and Audi says it'll get somewhere around 370 miles of range on a tank of hydrogen with a refuel time of about 4 minutes that's longer than gas but not by much and it's certainly way less than the recharge time on even the fastest fast chargers for fully electric vehicles anyway that's about it for the a strong quattro concept here at the Detroit Auto Show we'll have a lot more coming to the next couple days be sure to check out our YouTube page at the Virg
