<a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2010/02/05/its-friday-audi-launches-latest-zero-emission-automobiles-at-internat/">Once again</a>, <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/audi">Audi</a> is bringing a sweet-looking electric automobile to the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg, Germany. While this thing is branded with the e-tron name, it's more toy than automobile - but the little prototype can get going at speeds up to 18.64 miles per hour.<br />
<br />
Called the Auto Union Type C <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/search/?q=e-tron">e-tron</a> study with electric drive, the toy is based on the limited-edition pedal automobile model, the Auto Union Silver Arrow Type C race automobile, <a href="http://green.autoblog.com/2010/02/05/its-friday-audi-launches-latest-zero-emission-automobiles-at-internat/">that was shown last year</a>. The new electric version uses a lithium-ion battery that can spin the 1.5-hp rear-wheel-drive electric motor to generate 29.5 pound-feet or torque (peak at 44.25) and has a range of just over 15 miles. Also, it has a reverse gear. Recharging from a 230-volt European socket takes around two hours. The best news: Adults up to 5'11" can fit inside. Beats the heck out of those silly toy Escalades.<br />
