After teasing us with a couple of videos and a few sketches,Audi has now unleashed a wave of computer generated images of its two-seatUrban Sportback and Spyder concept models, both of which will receive theirworld premiere at the upcoming 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.
The German brand says the tiny pure-electric technical studiesare not descended from any previous Audi model, and that their development"is based on the strict principles of lightweight construction, efficiencyand reduction".
The tiny concepts with the exposed 21-inch wheel wheelsstretch 3,200mm long, 1,700mm wide and a mere 1,200mm tall. Propulsion comescourtesy of two e-tron electric motors that draw energy from a lithium-ionbattery.
To keep the weight down, Audi has used a mix of carbonfibre-reinforced polymer and aluminum to construct the two models.
The Urban Sportback model features a canopy that forms partof the body and slides up and to the rear to reveal a 1+1 seat layout with thepassenger positioned back and to left of the driver.
In Spyder form, the concept does away with the slidingcanopy but gains a pair of doors that open up diagonally along with a loweredwindshield and continuous side window area.
More information on the two studies are to be releasedcloser to the Frankfurt Motor Show.
