Here at The Unofficial Audi Blog , we can’t get over the beauty of the e-tron Spyder. It’s slick. It’s futuristic-looking. It’s just so damn sexy. Today Audi released information about the creation of this gorgeous one-of-a-kind car. From working on a clay model to the finished product, a great deal of time and energy was put into this show car. Frank Lamberty, a designer at Audi, describes the form-finding of the e-tron Spyder: “We were constantly bouncing between two worlds like a ping-pong ball. On the one side was the elegant shape of speedboats. On the other was the radical world of naked bikes (motorcycles without full or partial fairings) or roadsters from the 1960s and 1970s. The Audi e-tron Spyder is the result of this inspiring convergence process and unites these two worlds.” It took the design team five months to build the car. Three months before the Paris show, they started working on the clay model… Six weeks before the show, management signed off on the final design and the designers went to work on the final product.  With attention to detail and extreme precision, ten employees labored on the showpiece… Here’s the video that was used to introduce the e-tron at the show… Experience more of the Audi e-tron Spyder by visiting: www.audi.com/etronspyder View post: Making of the Audi E-Tron Spyder

News from the Land of the Rising Sun:  The Mainichi Shimbun and Shimbun newspapers in Japan state that Honda Motor Co. gave their new hybrid car with low, low price tag of only ¥1.59 million (that’s roughly US$18,600), which makes it the cheapest hybrid vehicle in Japan.  Soon, the new Honda Fit Hybrid might just be the most affordable gasoline-electric car in the United States and the world. The US$18,600 price tag is still as staggering $3,500 lower when compared with the Honda Insight, the present cheapest hybrid in the market today.  It is also $4,600 lower compared to the conventional gasoline-chugging Fit.  While Japan’s market price does not always coincide with the US, Honda Fit Hybrid’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price might land somewhere around $17,000. The Honda Fit Hybrid will carry an electric motor and a 1.3-liter engine. It is expected to achieve 70.6 mpg US, 3.3 L/100km with the fuel economy of 30 kilometers per liter.  However, the Fit Hybrid’s title of being the cheapest hybrid vehicle is challenged by Toyota’s plan to debut its compact hybrid in 2011.  Toyota’s hybrid will have the price tag of around ¥1.5 million (that’s $17,554) and is expected to reach 40 kilometers per liter and 94 mpg US, 2.5 L/100km.  According to analysts, the release of these two hybrid vehicles will improve the competition in the sales of eco-friendly vehicles between the two Japanese automobile giants. Honda’s new Fit hybrid will make its debut in the Paris Auto Show this fall season and will be released sometime in 2011.
