Every mid-engine Audi R8 supercar gets assembled at Böllinger Höfe alongside the fully electric Audi E-Tron GT electric sedan.
Accommodating such wildly disparate vehicles on the same 36-station assembly line required some pretty clever process engineering.Bodies are constructed in separate areas on site, with the R8 welded by hand and the E-Tron by robotic welders. They're then sent 4 miles away to be painted at Neckarsulm, before returning to be banked in the Böllinger Höfe facility's basement.
Wiring harness installation, glass, etc. But obviously, marrying a mid-mounted combustion engine and mechanical rear- or all-wheel drive is not terribly similar to installing a battery pack, motors, inverter, and wiring.The R8 receives its engine five stations ahead of where the Audi gets its electric powertrain. When an E-Tron arrives at the R8 engine station, its rear doors are installed .
