You’re here! I figured you’d be neck-deep in turkey. Thanks for stopping by on this holiday.

Today we continue our preview of must-see cars at next week’s L.A. Auto Show.

Our latest is a car like no other, even if it is just a concept for now: Audi’s e-tron.

Audi e-tron
How’s this for power? A car with not one, not two, but four motors. That’s what is packed into this high-performance Audi concept car. With an electric motor turning each wheel, this German marvel could be the most literal interpretation of a quatro. The horsepower is impressive; the torque rating is astonishing: 3,319 lb-ft

Engines: Four lithium-ion-powered asynchronous motors
Horsepower/torque: 313 hp/3,319 lb-ft
0-60 mph: 4.8 seconds
37-75 mph: 4.1 seconds
Top speed: 124 mph
Charging time: 6-8 hours on 230-volt outlet
Estimated vehicle range: 154 miles
