Now that we have whet your appetite for Audi R8 production, fancy an electric powered supercar? Well, the rumour doing the rounds is that Audi will be releasing a “e-version” of the R8 at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

This rumour was given new legs with the recent launch of Audi’s electricity untamed microsite. At the moment, the site includes a bunch of trivia and a few oddball videos. However, it also makes this bold claim (screen grab below): “…on September 15, 2009, electricity, and all its force and power, will run wild and free and completely untamed.”

That doesn’t sound like the precursor to a wussy city run about does it?!
