German carmaker Audi will unveil its electric-drive supercar concept, called the PB18 E-Tron at the upcoming 2018 Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance Week next month. The abbreviated name for the Audi concept car, 'Audi PB 18 e-tron', refers to the Pebble Beach venue and the year of the debut. It also recalls the LeMans-series winner Audi R18 e-tron and was conceived and designed by the new Audi Design Loft in Malibu, California. The Audi PB 18 e-tron will be unveiled at the Laguna Seca racetrack as part of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion reception, a day before its official debut at Pebble Beach.

The details of the Audi PB 18 e-tron supercar concept have not been revealed yet, but the Audi R18 e-tron had a hybrid powertrain and is the second in line in the company's electric car portfolio after the e-tron electric crossover. While the e-tron electric crossover will have a travel range of close to 500kms, we expect the Audi PB 18 e-tron supercar concept to be more on the sporty, adventurous and a futuristic electric design study for the performance enthusiast driver.
