Audi Crosslane Coupe Concept at Paris Motor Show

The german auto giant Audi has got much to show at this year's Paris Motor Saloon which gives us a glimpse of the future shape of design, along with automotive and drive concepts, through its Audi crosslane coupe concept car.

According to the Audi, this vehicle is an entirely new fusion of technology, engineering and design, and provides pointers to the design language of future Audi Q models. With a Multimaterial Space Frame, the vehicle concept breaks new ground in terms of weight, costs and energy usage over its lifecycle, and is an evolutionary stage of Audi ultra – the lightweight construction principle from Audi.

An innovative and efficient plug-in hybrid drive based on a purpose-designed 1.5-litre three-cylinder TFSI and two electric motors redefines the benchmark, with potential fuel economy returns equivalent to 109kmpl and CO2 emissions of just 26 grams per km.

The result is a sophisticated vehicle that will appeal to young customers in particular thanks to its removable roof and the customisable services available under the Audi connect concept.
