In a world where every new electric vehicle concept seems to be fitted with autonomous driving systems, Audi has done the automotive world a favour with its latest creation. Welcome to the Audi PB18 e-tron Concept. Introduced during Monterey Car Week in California, the PB18 e-tron Concept is an all-electric supercar that’s designed specifically for driving thrills. Consequently, there is no semi-autonomous driving technology. The car uses three electric motors. Up front, there’s a motor delivering 201 hp while two other motors power the rear wheels and output a further 604 hp. In typical driving, the combined power sits at 671 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque but if the driver is brave enough, peak power of 764 hp can be funneled to the ground in short bursts. All told, the concept hits 62 mph (100 km/h) in a touch over two seconds. Beyond all the impressive grunt the powertrain delivers, it has also been designed to be exceptionally efficient. With that in mind, the PB18 e-tron recovers a considerable amount of energy while it’s being driven as the electric motors are solely responsible for decelerating the vehicle in low-to-moderate braking scenarios.

Designers seem to show a lot of love towards Audi. Adding to the growing list of conceptual Audi designs is the Audi iron by Jaehyuk Lim. The Audi brand is all about superiority and dominance and the iron design does that with its space-age form language! A recessed LED strip on the base illuminates when switched on, also serving as a color indication of the temperature. The charismatic chrome logo is on the front of the iron. Gives it almost the feel of a car, driving forwards and backwards on your clothes!

The Audi Layer input device looks unbelievably futuristic. Combining 4 devices into a single form, this genius of a peripheral will literally be all you need to attach to your computer. The Layer comes with a flat track-pad that also becomes a tablet input when you use the stylus embedded within. Slide the track-pad out to reveal a complete tactile QWERTY keyboard underneath. Beside it (and occupying the most visual mass) is the ever-so-sleek mouse that absolutely slays with the Audi branding proudly engraved into it. Anyone who said touchscreens are the future never owned the incredibly versatile Audi Layer!

The Audi eSuitcase is a fabulous idea for lovers of Audi by designer Erkan Candar from Germany. If you have traveled the world, you know that getting from point A to point B in the airport can be a treacherous event – especially while lugging around a huge, heavy suitcase. However, while staying in line with the elegant design of an Audi, Candar came up with the idea of a carbon fiber suitcase with a built in electric scooter which will allow you to ride to your next destination at the airport saving a lot of time and headache. All you have to do is unfold it, have a seat and that sexy, Audi eSuitcase will have you well on your way in no time, all while making onlookers completely jealous. “Audi eSuitcase is a short project, it shows a possible solution for mobility with the own Suitcase. Powered with an electric motor in the back wheel and lithium-accus in the ground the Audi eSuitcase could offer mobility for enough time.”

Two designers created a project of truck concept for Audi. The goal of the project, called Truck For Audi, was to create a concept for a self-driving electric truck for the German automobile manufacturer. In this case, since the idea itself breaks new ground in the transportation world, it only made sense that designers Artem Smirnov and Vladimir Panchenko would practically reinvent the way we view these trucks. What’s left for us is quite the imaginative piece of vehicle conceptualization, featuring elongated headlights and tail lights along with design lines smoother than Miles Davis. And let’s not forget that cockpit inspired cabin. Whatever the case, if these do make it on the road eventually, they’re sure to draw significant attention from surrounding drivers.

Audi is helping Part-Time Scientists with the Google Lunar XPRIZE competition that aims to transport an unmanned rover onto the Earth’s moon. The German luxury car manufacturer will contribute in several fields of technology, from ‘Qattro’ drive and lightweight construction to electric mobility and piloted driving.

The tradition of producing wrist watches under auto brand name starts in the early 20 th century when the first wrist watch has appeared. Many legendary car manufacturers produce their own line of watches dedicated to anniversaries and special occasions in the life of brands.

This 3D model called “Audi Shark” was the winner of 2009 World Auto Design Contest. Auto has the form of a shark and it’s not only a way to make unusual design. It is believed that this form improves cars handling. Besides the futuristic design of this model its creator Mert Tol thought out how it will move. By his idea Shark will not have wheels like modern cars, it will be flying machine. The author believes that this feature will reduce the risk of accidents on the roads and provide the driver unforgettable feeling of flight. Also there were invented original seats, which are very similar to motorcycle seats but much more comfortable. In general the car is very unusual. And a natural question arises: when it will become a reality?
