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.

Powered by two electric motors, the driver and passenger will get to their staggered seating positions through the tailgate, and can let the sun shine in through the sliding canopy once there if they’re in the coupe. We look forward to finding out if all this is as funky in person as it is in print. Until then, there’s that bunch of photos to check out in the high-res gallery.
