I think this is an amazing car. But I think we will look back on these times 20 years from now and wonder how we made such little progress with car batteries and gasoline, over a 40 year period between 1985 and 2025. No other technology is recognizable from 1985, because it has changed so much. Car engines and car fuel injection is exactly the same, despite there being about 5,000 patents which could completely revolutionize electric car battery capacity and internal combustion engine combustion technology.

@LukasRaschendorfer

The total efficiency is actually better than letting the ICE drive the wheels directly. The EV drivetrain has hardly any losses and the ICE can run super efficiently. Running the ICE with such dynamic loads would make it super inefficient.

@@LukasRaschendorfer yes, but there are losses when you recharge a battery, store the energy and then use it on electric motors. Those losses are more than drivetrain losses are. And also the needed components add weight. That’s why in a pure long distance drive, a car with tiny diesel engine goes further with less energy, than a similar hybrid car. In a normal day-to-day driving, hybrids are better. BMW i3 has a model where there is a small range extender engine in an electric car, works just like this Audi.

@leftaroundabout

Жыл бұрын

Not necessarily. The sound indicates that they used _spur gears_ instead of the nowadays standard helical gears. Normally, you don't find spur gears in cars, except the reverse gears in many older cars (remember that sound?), but they can actually be _more_ efficient because there's less friction between the gears. Apart from the loudness (which clearly isn't a problem here), the disadvantage of spur gears is that they can't cope as well with high torque, which makes them seemingly an odd choice also for a race car. But apparently it's ok, perhaps because the ground traction is low in the desert and the electric motors so smooth.

(Plus most of these motorsport applications are using billet gears etc so they are already stronger than road gearboxes to deal with the torque)

@@leftaroundabout Actually no. Striaght cut gears can handle high torques, which is why they are used in motorsport. It's that they cannot handle axial loads because, as the geometry shows, there's nothing in the gear profile that stops them from sliding. Straught cut gears are great for motorsport as they have high torques and reduced radial loads compared to helical gears. Like in this car, that has stupid amounts of torque (also because electric cars go 2x to 3x C rate at the start to overcome intertia since their gear ratio is designed for near max speed).

@arjun._.bbC6

The sound is like in any vehicle- moving parts create vibrations which translate to sound. Now while we don't have the standard combustion sound, the only sounds we hear are A, from the straight cut gears, and B, from the motor bearings. Thanks to fewer moving parts, motors have higher peak and average efficiency compared to ICEs. Motors go at 70-80% average efficiency and 95% peak efficiency (both mechanical and electrical) while ICEs barely manage 40% peak and a way lower average. Fun Fact: the last recorded highest thermal efficiency was my Merc AMG for their F1 engine in 2017, which is the highest any ICE has ever touched. So yeah, motors are really extremely efficient.
