Audi has unveiled their future cars, the new 2014 Audi A3 Sportback G-Tron. Why is it called the future car? That's because this car runs on either compressed natural gas or gasoline. Audi has patented a revolutionary CNG driving system, roomates runs on a synthetic gas called "e-gas." Newest member of the Audi A3 has been launched at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

G-Tron is based on environmentally friendly cars. EPA noted that natural gas is mostly methane is one of the cleanest fuels. As a car created for the future, Audi plans to produce synthetic natural gas itself to its customers. The fuel will be produced in power-to-gas plant in Werlte company, Germany. Audi says that, "Buyers of Audi A3 Sportback G-tron will probably get an e-gas in CNG refueling station public."
