Besides knowing that Audi calls it the EPC, which spins at 70,000 rpm to remove turbo lag, does anyone know much about It? Size? Weight? Etc??

Found this on the web: EPC adds about 20kg

Looks rather small:

I think super sticky rubber and active aero are a given for a car that must be the fastest.

Just don't know how those vents fit in? Would the frunk be filled with cooling for electric turbo's?

Footsoldier

Yes, I've just heard the the price will be even more than was originally estimated!

I was told by my dealer what the cost would be and it's actually a positive I feel. It will weed a lot people out due to cost and not being LE. Will be for the group that likes monsters, I'm in!

Not cooling for the electric turbos per se - cooling for the supercapacitor(s) that power them.

maybe but i'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how intake ducts on the hood could have much aero impact. trunk is sealed, which implies you have to cut holes in the tub somewhere to exhaust the air...

proper hood-based aero:

You better believe I'm all over/ under it at Goodwood.

What is the reason for the cup cars to have them too? Why did there was an GT3 RS prototype with them too?

Alan Smithee

All photos I have seen of what appears to be a GT3RS with frunk venting have had them blocked off.

Cup cars are different animals.

RennOracle

They were tapped, but they were there. Cup cars aren't that much different. RSR and R cars are tho. I wouldn't doubt that those intake scoops have the same use (cooling brake ducts?) as in the cup cars.

Alan Smithee

The GT2 will be entirely different from a Cup car. Besides, the frunk venting is in very different places on the Cup and on what we are assuming is a GT2 prototype.

Cup car hood vents just direct airflow to the cabin for driver cooling, nothing else.

I love everything about this picture
