According to Audi Media Center, Audi urbansphere concept, the last part of the Audi sphere design series project, will be released online at 18:00 (Beijing time) on April 19th (the other two cars are Audi skysphere concept and Audi grandsphere concept).
At the online event “Celebration of Progress,” Hildegard Wortmann, member of the Audi Sales and Marketing Board of Management, Oliver Hoffmann, member of the Audi Technical Development Board of Management, and Henrik Wenders, head of Audi Brand, will explain Audi’s next strategic transformation and showcase the future mobility experience represented by Audi urbansphere concept and interpreted Audi’s understanding of the “third living space” of automobiles with designer Gary Telaak.
-The design of the Audi urbansphere concept car originated “from the inside out” from the interior, reflecting how autonomous driving technology transforms the interior environment of vehicles into a “mobile world without a steering wheel, pedals, and screens,” representing the future of Audi design and advanced mobility experience.
-The related research project of Audi urbansphere concept car is closely coordinated and driven by the Beijing Audi Design Studio and Audi Ingolstadt headquarters, and has the largest seating space of Audi so far. It is the first Audi vehicle designed to meet the needs of Chinese urban customers.
