The Audi skysphere concept car will debut at the Monterey Car Week in California, United States on August 13th.
Aside from its air suspension with adjustable height, the skysphere concept car also has a variable wheelbase that can extend up to 250mm. This unique feature allows the car to transform from a 4.94-meter electric sports car into a 5.19-meter self-driving GT model.
In terms of performance, this car comes with a battery pack of over 80 kWh capacity, providing a range of 500km under WLTP standards. With an output of 465 kW, about 60% of which is released from the rear wheels, the car can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 4 seconds when needed. The vehicle weighs 1,800kg, which is relatively light for this configuration.
The design of the skysphere was inspired by the classic open-top car Horch 853 from the Nazi era of 1937. In addition to it, two other sphere-series concept cars, the grandsphere and the urbansphere, will be released one after another to demonstrate Audi’s technologically advanced luxury progression.
