The AUDI A3 Sportback Provides an Eco-Friendly Option

— July 12, 2014 — Autos
The AUDI A3 Sportback model gives drivers a way to get from A to B without burning gas and harming the environment. This latest development from the popular car company pushes to integrate electricity as a means to power its cars, and reduce the amount of pollution that's sent out into the environment on a daily basis.

The car itself does not look that different from a regular auto, except under the hood. According to the stats found on DesignBoom, "the AUDI A3 Sportback E-Tron accelerates to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 7.6 seconds and has a top speed of 222 km/h (137.9 mph)." This is done in combination with fuel, but it can still hit up to 130km an hour when only using electricity.
