Remember those electric R8 rumors that Audi shot down a few months ago? Well there may be some credence to them after all. Audi has built an odd micro Website at ElectricityUntamed.com that seems to hint at an electric vehicle of some sort in Audi's future.

Right now, there's nothing on the site but cryptic animated text claiming that, well, electricity will be unleashed soon enough and a countdown clock that terminates on September 15, 2009, (guess what else will be happening on that day). There are also social networking links and humorous embeddable videos of electricity running wild, such as the one embedded below.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that rumored electric R8, but I'd even settle for an eTT-S.

Stay tuned to our continuing coverage of the 2009 Frankfurt auto show for more details as they emerge.
