The Audi skysphere concept, the first in a family of innovative concept cars, is more than just a vehicle; it's a window into a future where the car morphs into an interactive space and an experience device. This electric two-door roadster seamlessly blends the visions of automated driving, a revolutionary interior, and a fully integrated digital ecosystem.
The skysphere exhibits an intriguing dual personality, seamlessly transitioning between two distinct modes:
* *Grand Touring:* Stretching to a magnificent 5.19 meters, the skysphere transforms into a luxurious grand tourer, designed for effortless long-distance travel. In this mode, the steering wheel and pedals elegantly disappear, creating an open cockpit that offers first-class-like legroom and freedom of movement for all occupants. The rear-hinged doors allow for a 25-centimeter shift of body and frame components, maximizing interior space.
* *Sports:* Switching to 'Sports' mode, the skysphere shrinks to 4.94 meters, becoming a dynamic and agile sports car. The steering wheel and pedals reappear, taking their place within the customized cockpit, and the operating elements on the dashboard and center console come to life. The rear, optimized in a wind tunnel, boasts classic roadster aesthetics with large glass sections, further enhancing the sporty driving experience.
The skysphere seamlessly integrates a digital ecosystem, with large touch-screen monitors on the dashboard and center console controlling vehicle systems and infotainment. The digitally controlled LED panel spanning the entire width of the vehicle dynamically reflects the current driving mode. This interplay of light and technology creates a visually captivating and engaging experience.
The variable wheelbase also demanded innovative interior design. In Grand Touring mode with the long wheelbase, the driver's seat transforms into a passenger seat, allowing occupants to relax and let the car navigate autonomously.
However, when the skysphere switches to the short wheelbase, the interior undergoes a remarkable transformation. The steering wheel and driving controls move closer to the driver, ensuring a seamless and natural driving experience.
'The contraction of the wheelbase triggers a synchronized movement of the interior elements,' said Anja Nardelli, Interior Design Manager for the skysphere. 'This allows drivers to effortlessly switch between a comfortable and engaging seating position.'
The Audi skysphere stands as a testament to the transformative power of digital design tools and the enduring value of traditional craftsmanship. By combining these elements, Audi has created a concept car that seamlessly transitions between a luxurious sedan and an exhilarating sports car, showcasing the future of automotive design and technological innovation.
