Audi has used the Paris Motor Show to unveil a compact 5-door variation of the 3-door A1 project quattro car first shown in Tokyo last year. The concept, which the company says "shows another possible direction for forthcoming production A1", features updated hybrid technology which combines a 1.4 TFSI petrol engine with a 20 kW (27 hp) electric motor that adds up to 150 Nm of torque during acceleration and can also run purely on electric power for more than 60 miles on a single charge.

In hybrid mode the car achieves 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds with a 124mph top speed and miserly fuel consumption of 72.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 92 g/km. The engine delivers 240Nm to the front wheels via S tronic dual-clutch transmission (before the boost offered by the electric motor kicks in) and regenerative braking and an automatic start/stop facility further enhances the Concepts' efficiency—an overall gain of around 30 percent compared to when it is running on the combustion engine alone according to Audi.

Grounded by large 18-inch wheels, the chassis design incorporates McPherson front suspension, four-link independent rear suspension and a new active, ESP-controlled front differential lock which distributes torque in-line with driving situation to deliver sure-footed handling along with improved stability and traction. Braking is via large-diameter discs (measuring 312 mm across at the front wheels) and the company's "magnetic ride" technology, which uses electromagnets to precisely control damping, replaces conventional shock-absorbers.

Behind, the wheel, drivers can select from two specially adapted configurations for the drivetrain, shift characteristics and magnetic ride shock absorbers. The default"efficiency" mode caters for more sedate and (therefore fuel-efficient) driving and makes optimum use of the purely electric mode, using this system exclusively if the Lithium-Ion battery is fully charged and the distance is less than 31 miles with the combustion engine being engaged once the capacity of the battery has dropped to below 20 percent. The system is also able to plan ahead in this regard courtesy of a navigation system which can detect differences in altitude along the planned route, meaning the regeneration phases and areas where more power will be required can be computed before you start.

In the second mode—"sport"—the vehicle's electronics also harness the torque available from the electric motor to achieve optimum acceleration.

The technical innovation isn't limited to performance with the introduction of a second-gen infotainment and vehicle systems management system. Unlike the earlier Audi A1 project quattro study which used its own mobile control unit, the new system enables a (selected) commercially available mobile phone to be used for controlling systems like navigation and audio via a WLAN connection. The system also adds a security boost be enabling remote monitoring of the vehicle (so you can tell if you accidentally left the window open for instance) and it can even tell you if your parking ticket is about to expire and lead you back to the car.

The control interface inside the cabin consists of four fixed-function hardkeys for the Navigation, Telephone, Car and Media basic menus with four customizable backlit softkeys for additional functions. Read-outs are displayed in a the center of the instrument cluster under superimposed glass elements that provide a three-dimensional look and the driver can choose from a range of displays including infotainment, navigation, rev counter or a status report on the hybrid drive using buttons on the steering wheel.

The seating layout in the white and red appointed interior consists of four individual seats with the centre console designed entirely around the driver.

From the outside the 3,990mm long x 1,750mm wide x 1,400mm high A1 Sportback concept is marked by a distinctive LED headlight configuration that combines low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights and turn indicators in one flat housing. The same approach is used for the rear lights.

Audi scoop special: Audi A7 coupe and cab revealed

By Georg Kacher (artist's impression by Motor Forecast)

28 August 2008

CAR's exclusive official design sketch of the Audi A7 – we've used this to compile our artist's impressions

Audi A7 coupe – for those who prefer their Audi's with uncomplicated, fixed metal roofs. CAR's artist's impression reveals the A7 Coupe, which is aimed squarely at the Mercedes CLS

Audi A7 coupe cabriolet is on the cards, according to CAR's moles in Ingolstadt. Our artist's impression reveals how the finished A7 CC will look

Ever-expanding Audi seems to have missed the boat with its new A7. A four-door coupe is now the must-have car to have in your model line-up, yet Mercedes, VW and, arguably, Jaguar have stolen a march on Ingolstadt and the A7 will only arrive in late 2009, before sales start in early 2010.

Details, details and more details on the Audi A7 please

Just as the A5 uses the A4 platform, so the A7 will be based on the new A6. But the next-gen A6, which means a lightweight aluminium platform with various steel reinforcements.

Air suspension will be standard on high-end models, and unless sales don’t surpass the expected 40,000 units, four-cylinder power won’t happen. Instead buyers will be offered a based 2.8-litre V6 FSI or the new supercharged 3.0-litre V6. Oil-burning owners will pick between a 2.7-litre, and a 3.0-litre V6 with either one or two turbos. Then if you can make sense of it all, there will be various six and seven-speed manuals, autos and dual-clutch S-tronic boxes.

And if I want a little more power?

Audi will slot, no make that shoehorn, its 5.0-litre twin-turbo V10 into the A7 to create an RS7, while the S7 will use a detuned version. Never fear though, because a hybrid version will be on hand to balance your polluting ways.

Expect A7 prices to start at £40k, for which you’ll get four somewhat cramped seats – remember, this is a coupe. Up next from Ingolstadt? An A7 convertible is in the pipeline, as depicted in our first artist's impression above.

And these aren't mere pie-in-the-sky renderings. CAR Online has obtained an exclusive design sketch from the corridors of power in Ingolstadt, and the red drawing confirms the direction Audi is heading in for its CLS fighter.

Audi A4 Outsells BMW 3-Series in Germany

by Zack Newmark

January 19, 2009 6:28 PM

The Audi A4 is not only Audi's top selling vehicle, it was also purchased more often in Germany than the BMW 3-Series. 2008 figures for the A4 have been released, with over 98,714 units in Germany. The Audi A6 and Audi TT also topped their segment, with 45,304 and 10,630 vehicle registrations, according to the company.

Audi claims the A4 was second only to the Volkswagen Golf in terms of overall sales in Germany. Both brands are owned by VW. The figures also show a great boost for Audi, with increased sales in Germany, and all of Western Europe. Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler said, "Audi is presently experiencing stronger growth than any other premium brand in the region - and thanks to new models we will maintain this dynamism."

"In a difficult market environment, we want to further expand our market share in Germany and Western Europe."

The 2009 model year Audi A4 was released in April 2008. The '09 S4 Sedan and Avant arrive in European dealerships this quarter.

Not a bad birthday present for Audi's 100-year anniversary. Audi sold more than one million vehicles worldwide last year. BMW still leads them as the global luxury brand, having sold 1.12 million in 2008.
