Audi PB18 e-tron To Electrify This Year’s Pebble Beach Car Week

Audi has announced that it will be revealing its new electric supercar concept at the upcoming Pebble Beach Car Week in Monterey, California.

Called the PB18 e-tron, the concept’s abbreviated name refers to the Pebble Beach venue and the year of the debut.

Developed at the new Malibu Design Loft, Audi said that the PB18 e-tron is inspired by the Le-Mans-series winner Audi R18 e-tron.   

The company didn’t release many details aside from the teaser image above and the tagline “Emotion instead of emissions: powerful electric drive.”

Set to be unveiled at 5 p.m. on August 23, 2018, on the Laguna Seca racetrack, the concept car will also be shown at the legendary vehicle presentation “The Quail” on August 24 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In parallel to the show car's world premiere, Audi is also showing an extensive range of vintage cars and performance vehicles.

This is Audi’s second electric supercar after the R8 e-tron, the battery-powered version of the Audi R8 which was unveiled in 2009.
