Audi Urban Concept: The Mysterious Vehicle

Very recently, we wondered what was what I was trying Audi? From that initial doubt this confirmation: it is the Audi Urban Concept, an electric vehicle is the epitome of the future of the brand.

This car, which recently saw camouflaged by the streets of Germany to the astonishment of friends and strangers, has a feature that somehow resembles the Hyundai Veloster: its asymmetry so special.

Another of its main features is that it is not a two-seater model, but setup is a 1 + 1 (seen in one of the images in this note) with the driver’s seat a little later than the passenger and slightly off to one side. The role of companion is that … that of being a mere passenger conductor without having access to almost anything. While handling the car in front of a board very brief and almost minimalist, without the least harshness.

The secret (if I may say so) of this car that Audi is developing based on two fundamental points: first we have sought absolute simplicity and … go if they have succeeded. And secondly, has sought to give the car as light as possible, demonstrating once again what the brand (as well inclined to make cars lighter) can be achieved. And if one of the objectives, one of the premises is to achieve a weight just unbelievable, then it becomes necessary to use appropriate materials for that, so Audi uses elements such as polymers reinforced with carbon fiber, to search for such desired weight reduction, but without giving up anything at all to security.

Another important thing: the Urban Concept Audi is not based on any other model of the brand, is a copy of living for himself and for the moment we do not know either if it is indeed the anticipation of a future model home. Many unknowns and only a few confirmations. In this connection, is known to have a pair of electric motors (of which no one knows your disposal) and carries lithium ion batteries. From the brand so far have not provided many details, not even said anything about their autonomy, limiting the explanation that the car will be ideal for touring city.

Another thing that is rumored is that electric motors could well be located inside the wheels, which in this car are “loose” body or rather, uncovered. The idea is not bad and does not sound outlandish.

Finally: the rebirth of an old idea, updated to the best car … simple, lightweight, simple, with wheels in the air and the driver and its absolute protagonist. That’s what Urban Concept Audi, the car you are testing the brand of the Rings.
