This concept vehicle represents for the very first time Audi’s attempt to combine all-road and e-tron languages. There is huge hexagonal single-frame grille that dominates the amazing sculptural front.
Typical of the e-tron model, the car has inserted narrow fins that resemble the cooling fins of an e-component. Include is a low-profile central air inlet that was milled into the under-body protection.
The body component is a mixture of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced-polymer material. Dark gray sub strips, which are typical of all all-road elements, visually reduce the body’s volume. This and large wheel flares, highlight the car’s off-road character.
