Electric cars are finally coming into their own

Here's a glimpse of the concept version of Audi's new electric car - the e-tron, due in 2012. Four electric motors producing 313 horsepower and 3,319 foot-pounds of torque. That's not a typo. It has a claimed range of 154 miles (248km).

Note the camera in place of the side view mirror, with the little screen just inside.

I like it.
