AUDI goes crazy with new Urban Concepts
Audi is revealing 2 pretty interesting vehicles on the IAA in September that doesn’t really fit under any conventional categories.
Known as the Audi urban concepts, the 1+1 seaters are ultra-light vehicles being studied for congested urban areas.
“The Audi urban concepts are not based on any previous model – its development is solely oriented on the strict principles of
lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction,” Audi said in a statement. “The result is a concept car with no unnecessary
weight, and one that concentrates on the pure essence of sporty motion.”
The urban concepts seat two people low to the ground and displays them with a bunch of controls and materials constructed
of ultra-lightweight construction. The driver can adjust the steering wheel and pedals to his own liking. Interestingly, entry to
the Audi urban concept Coupe is through the tailgate and the roof is designed to be maneuverable and slides to the rear to
open.
Power for the Audi urban concepts comes from two e-tron electric motors, which get their fuel from a lithium-ion battery.
No technical details were released.
The coolest thing about the Audi urban concepts? They are riding on massive 21-inch wheels.

I actually like it. My only complaint is the staggering of the seats. I know it's done to make it smaller, but imagine trying to talk to your passenger with that setup... Open roof + passenger behind you = good luck.

P.S. i like it, cause it´s different and out of this world and it will probably turn more heads than a Veyron.
