Rumormill: Audi A2 e-tron coming to Frankfurt?
Filed under: Frankfurt Motor Show, Audi, Rumormill, Electric Over the past few years, Audi has teased us with a number of reasons to think that the automakers next-generation A2 may be offered with an electric-only powertrain, or maybe with some type of plug-in hybrid option.

Heres hoping such a low weight target doesnt imply that Audis use of unobtanium materials will interrupt the debut of the A2. New rumors have popped up that Audi will unveil its European-only electric A2 e-tron concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show this September. Well believe it when we see it.
