The R8 and-tron does not have a real rear window and the particular rear-view mirror that Audi added enables the driver perfect visibility, thus increasing the security. Through a high-definition camera and a control unit, the images will be projected on a screen of 7.7 inches, in the position of the classic rear-view mirror. The driver can choose to enable or disable the screen at all times.

The lithium-ion batteries allow you to store 49 kWh of energy, enough to cover a distance of 215 miles on a full charge.
