Five more weeks to go before the most important race of the year comes up on Audi Sport Team Joest’s agenda: the Le Mans 24 Hours on June 16/17. In addition to e-tron and quattro, ultra lightweight technology will again be in the company’s focus there.

As a leading brand in automotive styling, Audi highly values its Color & Trim area and the colors and materials that go into its cars. In the new Audi S6 and S7, interior designers have come up with another innovation – decorative “aluminum/Beaufort wood” inlays, in which the lightweight metal and wood enter into an elegant alliance.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which car is the lightest of them all? Who was the pioneer in the development of lightweight construction? Will cars be as light as toys in the future? The “Light as a Feather” tour on March 1 will answer these and other questions.

Audi’s designers have been awarded two coveted trophies for the A6’s lightweight-construction body. Franziska Moennig, Chair of the Presiding Committee of the “Automotive Circle International”, congratulated the winning teams at the Audi Forum.

With the A2 concept technology study, Audi is offering a peek at electric driving in the megacities of the future. The purely electric powered A2 concept is a classic space concept: a premium vehicle for metropolitan areas featuring generous amounts of space and composed road manners.

Audi is breaking new ground: The Audi urban concept technology study is a 1+1 vehicle for urban and metropolitan areas. The electric powered show car has four wheels, but does not fit into any current automobile category.

Audi is once again opening up new horizons: the Audi urban concept is a 1+1-seat, ultra-light car for congested urban spaces. The technical study being presented at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt does not fit under any of the conventional categories.

Lightweight construction has long been a top priority at Audi; it is one of the pillars of the brand. As the pioneer of the self-supporting aluminum body, Audi is the worldwide leader in the field of lightweight construction.
