>Audi sets 2026 end date for combustion engine cars-Sueddeutsche Zeitung
fucking kek by 2030 all cars will be electric only for fucks sake

You guys are becoming boomers, always complaining about change because things were best when you specifically were a teenager.

how is asking for an ice car boomerism? i dont have an issue with evs and i dont go around calling ev drivers faggots. but i prefer petrol and diesel. i guess im part of a loud minority and most consumers dont give a shit but i dont think this is asking too much. look at mercedes, they swapped the beloved 8 cylinder amg series for a 4 cyc hybrid and nobody bought that shit

>>28574379
the new ceo put the EV only plans on hold. they will stick to ICE
>Audi is no longer pursuing an EV-only strategy and will continue to produce petrol and hybrid vehicles beyond 2033. The company has shifted its focus to maintaining flexibility in its product lineup, responding to evolving market demands and acknowledging the continued relevance of internal combustion engines (ICE) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV). While Audi is still investing heavily in electric vehicles (EVs), the brand will also introduce new generations of ICE and PHEV models in the coming years

>AT LEAST GIVE AN OPTION FOR AN ICE
no one would buy the EV, brainlet

>>28574377 (OP)
EV sportscars sadly aren't feasible unless Audi is sitting on some secret new battery tech. EVs need big batteries and big batteries need lots of room and weight. If they truly believed in this new car then they would have debuted it first as the Cayman.

>how is asking for a car with a carburetor boomerism?
That is how you sound.

>>28574474
The previous CEO and Blume basically said that an EV sports car is not possible.


I fully expect this to be a mustang crossover thing

>>28574377 (OP)
>ev
>sports car
lmao

>>28574630
Yes.

>>28574377 (OP)
Audi used to be a civilized brand.

>>28574385
Better they go with full EV. Audi ICEs are pure nightmare fuel of dogshit

>>28574380
wrong boomi, things were best before i was born

>>28574787
What did Audi do to hurt you anon?

>>28574787
i dont understand how you doom 3 generations of v6 engines with the same supplier process control fault.
>>28574759
most boring audi design in the brands history

>>28574729
Oh cool! Where can i buy o-
>SU7 Ultra Prototype on non-road legal slick tires achieved the official lap record

>>28574787
the trick is to only buy the Audi 5 and 10 pot

>>28574377 (OP)
this fag company cancels the BEST car they've ever made, Q8 e-tron, and expects all to be forgiven because of a sports car?
t-thanks tho

>>28575589
hmm...so bmw is
>only buy their l6s
audi is
>only buy their l5s and v10s
what's mercedes and vw? and is vw the same as audi?

>>28574524
I'm thinking it's a 4-5 seater of some sort too. Maybe an i4 competitor

>>28575745
Could be why the A5 coupe was cancelled. They want all buyers to only have the EV or the R8.

It could be the S1 Etron though…

Nobody cares about this lgbtq shit

>>28575697
Merc is V8 only.
VW is avoid at all cost

>>28574379
Yea, that's not happening, as an audi tech they JUST released the gen 5 2.0 engine and there's no way they'd go through all that effort to quite radically change the engine just to go like fuck it: We're going to axe all ICE cars in the next model year. Ice is sticking around for a while

>>28575589
Ironically those are both Lamborghini derived engines

>>28576011
>gen 5 2.0 engine
thats shared with all the other VAG shit so its meaningless

if they put out new gen v6/v8s that'll mean something

>>28576011
>as an audi tech they JUST released the gen 5 2.0 engine
um is the block aluminum yet?

>>28575589
v10s are not reliable lmao and the i5s are trannyverse only unless you go for 30+ yr old cars

>>28574377 (OP)
>OMFG THE NEW ELECTRIC SPORT CAR
Nobody want
Nobody care

>>28574377 (OP)
I’d take an electric coupe desu. An RS coupe maybe 450hp AWD and 2 doors

>>28574729
>stripped out
>custom tires
