Audi A2 concept is confirmed as the third all-electric Audi design study to take the limelight for the Vorsprung durch Technik brand. Comes with a weight-conscious and space-efficient packaging which is achieved using multi-material hybrid construction, the four-seat Audi A2 limit its weight to just 1,150kg.

The Audi A2 concept is a purely electric vehicle powered by a lithium-ion battery which stores 31 kWh of energy, 24 kWh of which is usable. The electric motor delivers 116PS of peak power (80PS continuous) and 270 Nm of torque (160 Nm continuous) to the front wheels via a single-speed transmission. This power output permits a 0-62mph acceleration time in 9.3 seconds and a top speed of 93mph.

It takes roughly 1.5 hours to fully recharge the battery with 400 volt three-phase current and approximately four hours with 230 volt household current. The Audi A2 concept is also designed for the new contactless charging technology (Audi Wireless Charging).

The A2 concept can cruise ‘semi-autonomously’, a benefit designed specifically to take some of the strain out of driving in slow-moving traffic. Another highlight of the A2 concept is the matrix beam LED headlights. An entire bundle of small light-emitting diodes arranged one above the other produce the low beam and high beam light. Microreflectors enable the precise positioning of the light.

The LEDs can be switched on and off independently to illuminate the road perfectly in any situation. Numerous mini-LEDs set in the lower section of the headlight produce the daytime running light. The adaptive tail lights also use matrix beam technology. The system uses a sensor to detect how good visibility is and adjusts the brightness accordingly.

Audi A2 is the first electric study which unites hybrid multimaterial construction, in which very different materials are combined with one another, with the Audi Space Frame (ASF) construction principle.
