Audi e-tron concept toy

While Audi says it's serious about electric cars, it has actually produced a scaled-down toy version of its Audi e-tron concept with a vintage look.

The toy is a half-size model of the 1930s Auto Union Type C as raced to many victories by Hans Stuck, Bernd Rosemeyer and Tazio Nuvolari.

The original 16-cylinder Type C was capable of 380km/h, while the toy has a 1kW electric motor pushing it to a dizzying 30km/h.

Even though it is a half-size model, it is still 2.32m long and only 1.12m shorter than the new Audi A1. It is roomy enough take a child or small adult.

The prototype will make its world debut at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg from February 3.
