NOT content with building a toy pedal car costing more than $20,000, Audi has electrified it.The German brand's star attraction at the annual International Toy Fair in Nuremberg is the Auto Union Type C e-tron study.Based on the 1930s grand prix Auto Union, the e-tron is an updated version of the hand-built pedal car that costs more than some real cars.Instead of pedal power, the e-tron study uses a 40Nm electric motor. It can reach speeds up to 30km/h and has a 25-kilometre range.
