>>> Lightweight expertise
Less weight. More savings, power and
durability. Audi lightweight technology.
What started in lightweight body
construction has now made its way into
nearly all areas, combining innovative
materials such as aluminium, carbon and
magnesium, intelligent design principles
and resource-saving manufacturing processes
into an overall concept.
>>> Aerodynamics
Less drag, more efficiency. Thanks to the
consistently aerodynamic styling of the
vehicle’s lines, its underbody and spoiler
edges – in order to achieve the best possible
shape for aerodynamic efficiency. Not
forgetting the tyres with reduced rolling
resistance. All tested in the Audi wind tunnel
at up to 300 km/h.
>>> Transmission expertise
Improved efficiency values thanks to improved
transmission ratios. A higher torque output
makes longer ratios possible, especially in higher
gears. For powerful torque in the low engine
speed range, which reduces consumption – yet
has no adverse effects on driving performance
and sportiness.
