Audi has released the official pics of the Urban Concept and Urban Concept Spyder which will be shown at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Audi urban concepts are two-seater models (in a 1+1 configuration) which demonstrate a slice of Audi’s vision for future mobility.

According to Audi, and we can see why in the design, the Urban Concept models combine concepts from the world of autocar racing and citycar mobility. The Spyder version has an almost vintage feel where the emotion of open-top motoring is added to a citycar model (although here’s hoping that in all that city traffic a significant slice of the other cars is electric, too).

A brand new Audi platform has been used, reducing weight for a sporty drive and using materials like CFRP for the cockpit. Concept design features include 21-inch oversized wheels and plenty of LED lights. The interior of the car is based on a new architecture which, will its minimal components, focuses on form and some practicality, especially in terms of driving positiong for the driver. The Audi Urban concepts are driven by two electric motors with lithium ion batteries. More details will come from the Frankfurt show.
