  Audi set to confuse the world with strangely illogical name change 23 Aug 2017 (News)
  According to the new nomenclature, the spectrum will initially range from the Audi A1 25 TFSI with 70kW (95PS) to the Audi A8 55 TFSI with 250kW (340PS). A special place in the line-up is occupied by the high-end, high-performance S and RS models and the Audi R8. They will retain their classic names in reference to their top position in the model range. Audi justifies this with the statement: “As alternative drive technologies become increasingly relevant, engine displacement as a performance attribute is becoming less important to our customers.

What's more, Volvo believes the complete substitution of an electric car’s existing components with the new material could cut the overall weight by more than 15 per cent.  Although Volvo hasn’t said when or if it will build nano powered cars, industry insiders believe the technology will form the template for all of the company’s future green endeavours.
