Audi has released a few renderings and details regarding its new urban concept car. Set out in a 1+1 configuration, Audi is touting it as an ultra-lightweight urban vehicle – featuring racing car characteristics.
It’s not hard to see where weight has been saved when, not only has carbon fibre been used in the car’s construction, but the undercarriage of the bodyshell is integrated within the two seats. Unusually, it appears that access is gained through the tailgate, while the roof can be slid right back allowing the driver to get to their seat.
Power for the baby concept comes in the form of two e-tron motors fed by a single lithium-ion battery.
We’ve added a couple of videos (that look a little too slick to be a ‘random’ spot…) showing the concept during a photoshoot in Berlin.
