Audi calls it the “car of the future driver” and pays tribute to the legendary work Horch 853 in its design.
It has “magic” variable wheelbase technology. In Sport mode, the wheelbase can be shortened by 25cm and the body length can reach up to 5.19 meters, combined with rear-wheel steering function to make the body more responsive.
The total output power is 465 kW, the torque reaches 750 Nm, it can reach 100 km/h in 4 seconds, and the range is 500 kilometers.
The entire weight of the car is only about 1,800 kilograms, and the battery capacity is expected to exceed 80 kWh.### Audi grandsphere Concept Car
Audi calls it the “future first-class cabin”, with a 2+2 seating layout, based on the PPE platform, equipped with a 120 kWh high-capacity battery module and a full-scenario quattro four-wheel drive system, with a range of up to 750 kilometers and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4 seconds.
This car features L4 autonomous driving capability, with the front camera able to recognize bumpy road conditions and activate the body’s active control system. The terrain data of the navigation system, including bend radius, slope, and gradient, will all be incorporated into the system’s predictions.When the backrest is upright and L4 level autonomous driving function is not used, the driver can drive the vehicle in an ergonomic posture. When the backrest is tilted by 40 degrees, passengers can easily use the entertainment system. Tilting the backrest to 60 degrees achieves the best resting position.
We can see Audi’s conception of future travel under the PPE platform from these two cars.
