Audi Urban Concept

Audi will be showcasing its lightweight Urban Concept EV at the forthcoming Frankfurt International Auto show in September.


It features a sliding canopy entry, a 1 + 1 staggered seating arrangement and a carbon fibre reinforced polymer shell for strength and lightness.


The Audi is 3200mm long, 1700mm wide and just 1200mm tall and a sub-500kg kerbweight. A short unofficial video is available and here is the official Audi trailer. 




First the Renault Twizy, now this. Maybe the G-Wiz will turn out to have been the first step towards the future of urban mobility after all....
