Just when we thought the Audi A1 is the smallest four-wheeled vehicle the four rings brand can come up with, we get slapped in the face with this new urban concept car - a technical study that combines elements of a racing car, a fun car and an urban car.

Simply dubbed The Audi urban concept, this is a 1+1-seat, ultra-light car for congested urban spaces. The cockpit consists of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, which integrates the undercarriage of both seats.

The 21-inch wheels are free-standing, their surrounding protective plates feature blinking strips of LED lights.

On board there is room for two people, their position slightly staggered and at a sporty, low level. All controls and materials are subject to the dictates of ultra-lightweight construction in order to ensure they convey a completely unique, sensory allure.

In addition to that, the driver can adjust the steering wheel and pedals to his own body measurements. The entry to the car is made via the tailgate. The roof is designed to be maneuverable and slides to the rear to open.

Performance wise, two e-tron electric motors provide the propulsion – offering the ultra-light Audi urban concept with the ability to accelerate powerfully. A lithium-ion battery supplies the energy – ideal for extended city tours.

“The highly concentrated look of the technical study, with its forward-urging lines, is dynamic and emotional – it lends Audi’s design language a completely new impetus,”
the German automaker explains. “The Audi urban concept is not based on any previous model – its development is solely oriented on the strict principles of lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction. The result is a concept car with no unnecessary weight, and one that concentrates on the pure essence of sporty motion.”
