Speculation that Audi will unveil an electric R8 at the Frankfurt motor show is gathering pace, after the car maker's new microsite featured a rendering of the car.
The microsite, called electricityuntamed.com, includes an opening sequence where the above, R8-like image flashes up.

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."
