Audi skysphere concept

Redefining premium mobility

The Audi skysphere concept is the first in a family of Audi concept cars. The cars were developed with one goal: to envision an automotive future where the car becomes an interactive space and experience device. The electric two-door roadster combines the vision of automated driving, a revolutionary new interior design, and a fully integrated digital ecosystem.

Highlights from the World Premiere of the Audi skysphere concept

The Audi skysphere concept is a fascinating symbiosis of design and experience, and it was shaped by virtual as well as physical interaction between the designers and developers in Ingolstadt and the Audi Design Loft in Malibu, California. Now, the "Celebration of Progress," brings both worlds together. Experience how Hildegard Wortmann, Member of the Board of Management, Henrik Wenders, Head of Brand AUDI AG and Gael Buzyn, Senior Director of the Audi Design Loft in Malibu, presented the first of three new concept cars of the brand.

Like at the front, the rear design also features a digitally controlled LED panel across the entire width of the vehicle. Among other things, the light effects indicate the mode in which the concept vehicle is driving.

From idea to concept car: how the Audi skysphere concept came about

The development process of the Audi skysphere concept combined digital design with traditional craftsmanship. The documentation shows how 3D technology was used to drive forward the design process, which spanned thousands of miles between the Audi Design Loft in Malibu and the team in Ingolstadt, Germany and gives insights into the innovative interior design and engineering of a concept car that is simultaneously sports car and sedan.
