Supercar concretize the company’s new piloted driving concept, its third autonomous concept vehicle following experiments with the RS7 and A7. With 455bhp electric powertrain, the car is capable of reaching a speed of 62 miles per hour (mph) in 3.9 seconds. It has a top speed of 155mph and a full battery recharge in less than two hours.
