You could always swap out the prop for one with a different pitch to achieve 
the your objective.  

The biggest draw back I see to an electric drive is the weight of the 
batteries.  The A4, its fuel tank and associated hardware is only going to add 
up to about 500lbs.  That doesn't equate to a lot of battery capacity.

      Thanks for the info. I have researching electric drives lately and most 
seem to favor using 2:1 gear reduction coupled to a 3000 rpm motor spinning the 
shaft at around 1000- 1500 rpm which would be slightly above idle or low speed 
with an A4.
