Vorsprung durch Technik






The future is small... and light... and compact... not to mention sleek...

Introducing Audi's advanced concept for the 2011 Frankfurt Motorshow next month. It's called the Audi Urban Concept, and, as the name suggest, this is Audi's vision of what metropolitan streets will be filled with in the near future...

It's incredibly, sufficiently small. It has a 1+1 seating arrangement, somewhat reminiscent of the Renault Twizy's (google it), except that the passenger is not fully placed behind the driver, rather a little bit offset to the driver . It's properly good-looking, with all the glory of the four rings surrounded by that signature trapezoidal grill, and even a strip of red paint on the sides suggesting a trademark relation to the R8's side fins.

It doesn't disappoint tech-wise as well... Properly futuristic, with a body made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic... and of course, it's electrically-powered. Can you expect anything less?

Other than that, details remain scarce... no choice but to wait for next month...

As I always say, I am quite a sucker for small 4-wheelers, and the future, as it seems, is infested with them... It would definitely look cute parked beside my R8 :)

Because size matters;
