Audi Urban Concept Unveiled

 »  »  »

Audi unveiled last night in Frankfurt the much awaited Urban Concept. The Ingolstadt manufacturer released all the details, a huge image gallery and various videos of the Urban concept too. The Audi Urban Concept is a 1+1 vehicle developed for city use, which weighs 480 kg (1,058.22 lb) and it's powered by an electric powertrain. Audi built the Urban Concept with a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) body. The 2 passengers of the Urban concept sit in a CFRP monocoque which features an aluminum structure. To power the Urban Concept, Audi is using two electric motors, with a total output of 15 kW (20 hp) and 47 Nm (34.67 lb-ft) of torque, which are juiced by a 7.1 kWh lithium-ion battery. The battery weighs 90 kg (198.42 lb) and it's positioned behind the seats of the Urban concept.

In terms of performance, the Audi Urban Concept can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in a not so impressive 16.9 seconds, but it can get from 0 to 60 km/h (the usual top speed in European cities) in 6 seconds. Audi limited the top speed of the Urban concept at 100 km/h (62.14 mph). The new concept has a range of 73 km (45.36 miles) and can be fully re-charged in 20 minutes with the help of a 400 Volt outlet, or in one hour from a regular 230 V outlet. The Urban Concept can also be re-charged through the new Audi Wireless Charging (AWC), which eliminates the need of an outlet and power cord.



The Audi Urban Concept displayed in Frankfurt comes in a Electric White exterior finish, with a pearl effect. It measures 3,219 mm (126.73 in) in length, 1,678 mm (66.06 in) in width, and just 1,189 mm (46.81 in) in height. It also has unusually large wheels for its dimensions: 21-inch free-standing rims. The access to the Urban Concept is made through a slide-back canopy, as the car does not have any doors. To be able to fir two people in their tiny new concept, Audi had to off-set the two seat by 30 mm. Audi says that sitting in the Urban concept offers an airplane-like experience. The Urban concept comes with adjustable steering wheel and pedals,

and all the information the driver requires is displayed on screens mounted on and around the wheel.
