This convertible sports car debuted at the Paris Auto Show in October, and is believed to be a preview of a forthcoming production model. Using Audi's plug-in hybrid technology, the e-tron Spyder pairs a 300-horsepower turbo-diesel engine with two electric motors to add another 85 horsepower. Audi is expected to begin production of its first e-tron models by mid-decade.
