Report: Audi electric four-wheel-drive “A9 e-tron” confirmed
http://www.greencarcongress.com/2016/08/20160831-a9.html

The UK’s Autocar reports that Audi will put a four-wheel-drive electric sedan rivaling the Tesla Model S into production. Perhaps to be called the A9 e-tron, the car will share much of its technology with the upcoming e-tron quattro SUV, including the advanced torque vectoring capabilities. (Earlier post).

The vehicle will have a range of up to 500 km (311 miles), and reportedly will offer Level 4 autonomous driving technology—one step up from that used in next year’s new A8. . . .

We are Interested in the Audi e-Tron SUV, Mercedes Benz EQ C, or the Jaguar i-Pace as a replacement for the C-Max. Tesla Y is too far off and honestly not thrilled with Tesla's driver interface (though would like Supercharger access).

The second article you quoted is for the e-Tron SUV, a BEV, that I have also seen refered to as the "Quattro",

but it is not the "sportback"

"A9"

or Hybrid (A3).

Would help if thread pointed at which e-Tron is being discussed. The e-Tron SUV will be introduced on September 17th

Yeah, Audi needs to give the thing an official name - they seem to be leaning towards e-Tron Quattro, but what else? I'll change the topic title to that for now. On second thought, I'll just move the post related to the Quattro CUV over to the other thread, and keep this one for the A9 or whatever it winds up being called.

Agree. And I thought Jag nomenclature was confusing
