Speculation suggests the car will be called the R8 ePerformance and will feature tweaks such as blocked-off air intakes, a lower front spoiler and an enclosed front grille.

The site also features a countdown clock timed to end on 15 September - the preview day for the Frankfurt motor show.

It features statements such as: "What's happened to electricity? It got dumbed down and domesticated. On September 15 electricity, and all its force and power, will run free and completely untamed."
