Audi Urban Concept official sketches

Posted: Thursday 11 August 2011 by theBride

This Audi prototype is called Urban Concept and it will be displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. In terms of production, this two seater doesn’t resemble anything this maker has done so far and it combines elements that we would normally find in sports cars with others typically associated with compact and fun vehicles.

This concept car’s shapes as you can see are quite radical and thanks to the abundant use of CFRP fibres and ultra-light metals its weight is incredibly low. There are no doors, you can get in only through the roof section once it has slithered back to the rear, therefore getting in can result in a quite tricky operation for those with a larger frame.

The Audi Urban Concept comes with a sliding cockpit made of CFRP (carbon fibre-reinforced polymer), LED lights and 21-inches wheels. In terms of engines this vehicle has adopted two different electiric e-tron motors featuring a lithium-ion battery. More information will be made available in the upcoming weeks so watch this space.
