Скачать или смотреть All-New 2022 Audi Skysphere Concept | Driving | Autonomous Mode | Crazy Extendable Wheelbase

Take a look at the official Audi footage of the new Audi skysphere Concept, and in this video is about how it drives in both normal and autonomous modes.

"The future starts with imagination," Henrik Wenders, Head of the Audi Brand, said about the Audi Skysphere concept introduced on Tuesday during Monterey Car Week.

A flight of fancy that previews the future of Audi design language, the Skysphere is an automotive Transformer with a variable wheelbase. In GT mode, it's a long-wheelbase two-seat roadster that drives autonomously. In Sports mode, it's a short wheelbase electric sports car. Electric motors slide the body and frame components into one another to change the wheelbase, varying it between the size of an Audi A8 L and an A5.

In GT mode, the two passengers sit behind a dash outfitted with touchscreens 55.7 inches wide; there is no steering wheel or pedals. In this mode, the car can connect to the internet and run video conferences or stream movies. The car doesn't actually have Level 4 autonomous driving capability, but an Audi representative said the brand expects it in the second half of this decade.

In Sports mode, the steering wheel rises from under the dash, the screen on the driver's side slides to the right, and pedals emerge. Sports mode also shortens the wheelbase by 9.8 inches, with the space coming out of an area in front of the A-pillars, and drops the ride height by 0.4 inch.

Propulsion is provided by a single rear-axle-mounted electric motor that makes 623 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. It's fed by an 80-kwh battery that Audi says would provide about 311 miles of range according to the European WLTP cycle. The battery is actually made up of two modules, the larger one below the floor ahead of the rear axle and the smaller one in the central tunnel. Audi quotes a 0-62 mph time around four seconds for the 3,968-lb car and says the power would be easy to harness because 60% of the weight is on the rear. Audi has 270-kw charging for its E-Tron GT, but it didn't quote charging times for the Skysphere concept.
