(from Daniel Garcia
Banos) The AudiA9 concept is a stylish proposal for a
luxury sports saloon..
The A9 concept would be positioned higher than Audi's current
flagship model, the A8, and is aimed at other top-end luxury saloons
like the Porsche Panamera, and if it went to production, the
Lamborghini Estoque.
The styling of the A9 concept was partially inspired by the stunning
architectural style of Santiago Calatrava's buildings in "La Ciudad
de las Artes y de las Ciencias" (The City of Arts and Sciences) in
my own hometown of Valencia. This influence can be seen in the clean
flowing lines of the vehicle and futuristic styling features.
Calatrava's buildings look like they come from 100 years in the
future, and so does this.
The single-piece windscreen and roof is formed from an as-yet
undiscovered nanotechnology material which features an
automatic-system for repairing damage, and it can also be adjusted
for color and opacity. The bodywork of the Audi A9 concept also
features a unique 'electronic painting' system which means the
vehicle's color can be changed at the touch of a button.
The proposed drivetrain for the A9 concept is an advanced hybrid
setup which uses an internal combustion engine working in
conjunction with four in-wheel electric motors.
