The Audi A2 concept

Audi A2 concept is just 3.80 meters long, 1.69 meters wide and 1.49 meters high, even so, it made an impression elegant, powerful and sporty street. His own appearance focuses on the essentials, every detail is subtle, but fit for a visual effect. The dark glass roof painted white show car switches to transparency at the touch of a button.

With its flagship, the Audi has the next phase of LED technology, known as the beam width. LED and a packet of microreflectors generate high resolution and non-blinding beam. Delicate fibers run under lights on the LED module light very effective at small radius. Intelligent lighting to adjust the lighting for better visibility. The rear fog produced by the laser diodes is considered a ray of light in the fog and projects a red triangle on the road as a warning.

The dynamics of the light passes below the edge of the window to the front to the back of the A2 concept - a band of light that contains a variety of innovative features, dynamic light. Integrated sensors to detect the owner and open the doors for the control action. While driving, the dynamic functions of light as a side marker lamp continually. If the car is on, the light pulses traverse the entire band of light. In addition, a red bar of light forward of the rear lights flows during braking and demonstrates the strength of the brakes in an intuitive way to other users.

The interior also reflects the philosophy behind the concept Audi A2. It is light, clean, open and spacious with intuitive controls. When the driver presses the button to activate the electric drive Audi dynamic light along the edges of the two arcs separated by the cabin doors and welcomes the passengers in a manner similar to the band of light abroad. Two touchpads curve to the right of the steering wheel. The console between the seats includes a retractable touch pad to enter letters and numbers and additional secondary functions - the development of MMI touch today.

The driver supports many important functions through the touch control areas on the wheel. The two large horns pointing inside have tactile surfaces to control the main functions, only the turn signal and wiper stalks still controlled by traditional steering column. If the two keyboards are affected at the same time, the concept A2 changes to a semi-autonomous behavior. With added comfort for the driver maintains full control of the vehicle at all times, like today with a Stop & Go ACC on the basis of which the new technology.

The architecture of the single benefit from the opportunities offered by the electric drive system. There is no center console, the console between the front seats can be lowered to allow free passage of the vehicle. Folding the rear seats forward reveals a light at the fork of a bicycle city in particular.

Audi A2, the concept of a pure electric car. Ion battery is installed in a roll on the floor in stores 31 kWh of energy, of which 24 kWh used. The electric motor is mounted transversely in front of the vehicle. It produces 85 kW (116 hp) and peak power (60 kW continuous) and 270 Nm of torque (160 Nm), and the front wheels through a single speed.

The study of Audi technology has a range of 200 km in the European driving cycle. It takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery 400 volt three phase and about four hours with 230 volt house. The concept Audi A2 is designed not to contact the burden of technology news (wireless Audi recharge). Accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 9.3 seconds, top speed is limited to 150 km / h in the range of interest. Management and are purely electric braking (Steer-by-wire and brake cable), without mechanical or hydraulic connection to the steering wheel or pedals, respectively.

Given the car weighs less than 1150 pounds with Audi's most advanced ultra-light design. Concept A2 is the first time, when the ASF is connected to a hybrid multi-material construction. In this case, the superstructure is composed mostly of aluminum and complete add-on parts of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP).
