The battery pack measures 95 kWh in capacity (with 86 kWh of them usable), allowing for a driving range of 226 miles (364 km) for the E-Tron S and 230 miles (370 km) for the E-Tron S Sportback.The new range-toppers of the E-Tron SUV range are compatible with up to 150kW of fast-charging, with Audi claiming a charge time from 5 to 80 percent in around half an hour.Wider fenders for a more dynamic lookPerhaps the biggest visual difference of the new E-Tron S from its lesser siblings is the added width by almost 2 inches (5 cm), courtesy of the wider fender flares. These are combined with not only a larger set of alloys but also more aggressive bumpers front and rear, with the latter featuring a diffuser insert across the entire width of the car.Despite the more aggressive appearance, Audi’s new performance electric SUV models still offer a drag coefficient of 0.26 in the case of the Sportback version and 0.28 for the regular E-Tron S.<img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/8589/fvRcFK.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />An electric SUV that can driftMore importantly, the new Audi E-Tron S models feature real torque vectoring on the rear axle via the two electric motors in addition to all-wheel-drive. The standard adaptive air suspension comes with an S-specific setup and can vary the level of the body by up to 3 inches (76 mm), while the Audi Drive Select system offers seven modes. Stronger stabilizers and a revised ratio for the progressive steering are also present.Audi says that the drive character of the first electric SUV models to wear the ‘S’ badge has a greater rear bias and that are able to deliver “controlled drifts” upon request. The brake system features six-piston calipers at the front together with 400mm discs, with customers able to have the former painted in orange.As standard, the new E-Tron S and E-Tron S Sportback will come with 20-inch alloy wheels shod in 285-section tires. Customers will get to choose bigger 21-inch wheels from the get-go, with even larger 22-inch items to be added in the options list down the line.<img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/8641/3kqWQj.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/5170/P7AcqC.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/8213/l865HR.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/9371/YjUQKc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/3843/sjGASJ.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/467/gGwHRK.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/2163/pUJtbc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Launching in Europe this fallAudi’s new E-Tron S and E-Tron S Sportback are set for a launch in the European market this fall. Prices in their home market in Germany start from 91,435 euros for the E-Tron S and from 93,628 for the E-Tron S Sportback.</blockquote>
