Audi is an unveiled luxury coupe that transforms into a pickup. It is Audi Activesphere, one of the concepts with which the German company hints at its vision of future mobility.
A large number of technological solutions is what distinguishes this concept. Many of them are still far from reality, but some could arrive soon, like new lights that fit decisively into attractive designs. The car is designed in the style of Audi’s Sportback and Allroad models, but as a versatile electric vehicle similar to an SUV. It is equipped with air suspension with adaptive shock absorbers, and the ground clearance of 209 mm can be increased by 40 mm. This is matched by an exterior design that features vertical studs and metal lines that visualize increased height. There is also a set of 22-inch wheels.
When it comes to the rear of the car, the design of the rear window is in line with the roof and the design of the rear fascia provides better access to the trunk area. The movable partition opens when the cargo space is used, and also serves to separate the interior.
In the morning, the dash, steering wheel and pedals are gone, and there’s a large soundbar and full-width air vents. The front seats are connected to the central console that provides heating and cooling. Special attention is drawn to the AR headsets for the driver and passengers, which enable the display of virtual content such as control panels and information screens. This frees up space in the interior that is normally reserved for screens and controls, as a large number of functions are performed via AR headsets.
The Audi Activesphere is powered by two electric motors producing 242 hp (178 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque. Also, the car has all-wheel drive. It is built on the Premium Platform Electric platform developed in cooperation with Porsche, and is equipped with a 100 kW battery.
