The 2012 Audi Urban Concept Gives Compact Cars A Sleek Overhaul

Audi’s innovative 1+1-seater concept is an original design based solely on the principles of “lightweight construction, efficiency, and reduction.” The Urban Concept dons free-standing, 21-inch diameter wheels, which are surrounded by protected plates that feature blinking LED strip-lights. It also features an elaborate suspension, compact electric-drive system and two e-tron electric motors that provide a boost of energy in ensuring sports car-like experience on the road. And we have to touch on the slide-open rooftop and carbon fiber interior, which compliment the vehicle’s sexy and lightweight construction. Autophiles can check out Audi’s latest electro-whip at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show, where it’s set to be unveiled to the public.
