Audi Urban Cup: From concept to model serial

Unveiled at the international Motor Show in Frankfurt in cutting and roadster versions, the small Audi Urban Concept will become a model for a series of limited circulation in 2013.

However, one can easily imagine that only the cut will be produced, that its silhouette and especially its interior will be more modest and realistic. It is also very surprising to see the model series has come to opt for sliding doors and 21 "wheels like the concept!

The concept presented:

To resolutely sporting style gaits

An inspiration for some Audi models to come

Wings to offer replacements to 21 "wheels.

Generous use of plastic and carbon fiber (CFRP)

Doors and roof sections, all sliding.

The car has two bucket seats instead. Note that the passenger voluntarily report back by the driver to provide more space for passengers outbursts.

An intelligent driving

The main functions of the car driving are grouped on the steering wheel. To this is added a multifunction screen placed directly in the field of vision that includes all instrumentation concept section. The interrelationship between these two elements is instantaneous and continuous.

Electric motors

The strange "Audi Urban Concept" is propelled by two small electric motors that interact on the rear wheels. They are powered by a lithium-ion battery.

In total, the system announces a 20 horsepower, you read correctly, a torque of 35 lb-ft.

Approval numbers:

Acceleration from 0 to 60 km / h: Approximately 6 seconds

Speed: 100 km / h

Autonomy: 73 km (45 miles)

Recharge on 230V socket: 1 hour

Quick charging time: 20 minutes

In all likelihood, the Audi Urban would cut 999 product.
