Finally the secret was revealed - the first time a virtual racing car became a real one - in addition it drives all-electric. This week, one of Germany's most renowned car brands in Neuburg on the Danube presented the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo. The vehicle originated from the presentation of the virtual counterpart, also redesigned, from the video game Gran Turismo. Creating the first all-electric race car based on a solid exterior template presented a major challenge for engineers and designers to master. That's how virtuality became reality.
Episode 3: “El Matador” Carlos Sainz drives the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo in this episode of “e-tron on track”. The car came from the virtual world and was turned into reality and used as race taxi at Formula E events.
Series production of the Audi e-tron GT, the brand’s most powerful electric vehicle is launching at the Neckarsulm site. The production process at the Audi Böllinger Höfe is every bit as unique as the car itself.
Sportiness and sustainability do not contradict each other; in combination, they characterize the understanding of luxury in the course of electric mobility at Audi. The e-tron GT proves this with its leather-free design package. The sport seats plus with 14-way adjustment are upholstered either with a combination of artificial leather and the Kaskade material or with a mixture of artificial leather and the microfiber material Dinamica. Recycled materials are used in both cases, for example polyester fibers that were made from old plastic bottles, or textiles, or residual fibers from selvages. There are 119 recycled plastic bottles in each Kaskade upholstery set. The Dinamica material is similar to Alcantara, while the Kaskade material, whose seam design is based on the look of the Singleframe, is reminiscent of natural fibers such as wool.The upholstery of the sport seats pro is made of a combination of two types of leather. The RS design package comprises microfiber material on the hood of the instrument panel carrier, the steering wheel, and the center console trim, with red or gray stitching adding highlights. The floor carpet and floor mats are made from Econyl in both models. This material consists of 100-percent recycled nylon fibers from production waste, fabric and carpet remnants, or old fishing nets.
