It’s a compact roadster with a torque-happy, twin-turbo diesel V6 mated to two electric motors capable of more instant twist. When we recently took the e-tron Spyder for a spin , we were limited to just 40 miles per hour, but the Four-Ringed automaker tells us that a trip to 62 takes only 4.4 seconds.

The Audi e-tron Spyder, a concept-darling at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, looks perfectly at home in Malibu. The e-tron Spyder’s many grilles and vents, not to mention its wraparound windshield, evince a haughtiness that seems natural here.
