Right off the bat… This isn’t the next generation The popular Audi Allroad, Activesphere is too dense with technologies and ideas that are still years away from being realized. However, this is what the Allroad will look like one day. However, it mainly shows us the possibilities and trends that Audi relies on.

Does it remind you of sci-fi movies? Audi is showing that it can become a reality
There’s no doubt that the Activesphere’s design is unquestionable. It combines the styling of the Audi Sportback and Allroad models into a versatile electric car. Audi builds it on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform, which was jointly developed with Porsche. It is intended for the entire model range and carries a battery block with a capacity of 100 kilowatts and two electric motors with a combined power of 325 kW and 720 Nm of torque, all-wheel drive is commonplace in this setup. .
The concept features Audi’s air suspension with adaptive dampers, which increases ground clearance from 208mm to 40mm. And it rides on 22-inch wheels with active aerodynamics.
So he drives… It’s not so certain, because the minimalist four-seater cabin lacks a steering wheel and pedals. It is said to disappear in autonomous mode and the virtual reality glasses available to the driver and passengers are used to drive the car. They make it possible to overlay virtual content, such as vehicle control panels or information displays, with the real world outside the window. That’s why cars basically don’t have to have any appearance, because Audi has put various functions on the glasses.

Sliding roof sections, folding rear ends and suddenly there’s a pick-up truck in the world
For example, climate control hovers in front of the air vents, while the sound and entertainment panels hover above the speakers. Users can view virtual content and activate it by focusing on certain information and interacting with it using gestures. The system then provides personalized content for each passenger, providing the driver with information about the vehicle while other passengers select music and other digital features.

While this may seem like a lot of science fiction, the car designs are much more realistic. The flowing four-door body shape is adorned with massive chassis protection and the car is covered in rich glass, including the roof. The rear glass window then slides out and lets you build a basket into which to load the bike, for example. The body is then extended by the rear folding head. This is a very interesting solution, which we can soon imagine also in production Audi models.
And if you close your eyes, it’s not hard to imagine seeing this car on the road not in a few years, but in a few months.
