Audi Urban Concept
Audi presented in Frankfurt a small two-seater electric car called the Urban Concept. Available in coupe and Spyder, it could very well anticipate the cars of our future cities without CO2. Audi jealous of Renault? While the firm is preparing to market its Diamond Twizy, Audi replica with a two-seater electric, presented in coupe and Spyder.
There is no doubt that the rise of electric cars will also change the face of cars of tomorrow. Especially in the urban category. Why? Just because the development of virtuous vehicles will go with cars getting smaller, able to challenge the urban maze. Audi has understood and has a small city. Small as it is only 3.22 meters long and 1.68 meter wide and 1.19 meters high above.
The seats have also been shifted by 30 cm to increase the space available for the shoulders and are now fixed: The settings of the driver are performed at the pedal that moves as the steering wheel to facilitate access to vehicle. The other word which sticks to the skin, the word lightly. Made of aluminum and carbon, Urban Concept Audi is a real ant only 480 kg. An ant with large feet shod with 21-inch frames with surprising dimensions, 125/60 front and 145/50 at the rear
Fully electric, the Urban Concept Audi equips lithium batteries located behind the seats, weighing only 90 kg and with a capacity of 7.1 kWh. Mounted between the two rear wheels which they are connected with a transmission speed, the two blocs are developing 20 horsepower and 47 Nm of torque.
In performance, Audi says its Urban Concept accelerates from 0-100 km / h in 16.9 seconds and reaches 60 km / h in about 6 seconds. So enough punch to step into the densest traffic. The maximum speed is in turn limited to 100 km / h and independence declared by the German manufacturer is 73 km. To recharge the batteries, just 20 minutes to one hour or 400 V from a household outlet. Small thing, Audi has even built a wireless charging system. The Urban Concept or should I say, the electric city car of the future.
