Audi teases Skysphere Concept car with futuristic looks, to debut on August 10
German auto giant Audi has announced that it will unveil its latest luxury vehicle Skysphere Concept on August 10 at their design studio in Malibu, California. Audi calls it the sports transforming vehicle, which can play the role of a real sports car, but can be turned into an autonomous vehicle in just a few seconds.
The Audi Skysphere Concept is also expected to showcase the Volkswagen Group's next-generation electric platform.
The Skysphere Concept will be based on the new generation electric model platform called Project Artemis and will embody Audi's vision for its next generation electric cars. The long silhouette promises a highly impressive and futuristic design with a very aggressive look. The images shared of the concept model showcases a low-floor with a pretty long bonnet, inspired by the historic Horsch 853A. Like the classic model, the Skysphere Concept is expected to have an open roof. The headlamps and taillights of the concept car will be based on the latest LED technology but will have a pattern not seen earlier in any Audi cars.
Marc Lichte, Audi’s chief designer, said, "This prototype, on the one hand, is a real sports car, and on the other hand, it can be transformed in just a few seconds into a stand-alone limousine."
