Part 1: Audi's Future Experience

The various ideas proposed at Audi future lab: mobility are increasingly becoming a reality. First, we report on the current state of "g-tron," which stores electricity as gas, and Audi's unique hybrid, "e-tron."

Part 2: Test Drive the Audi R8 e-tron

Another highlight of the Audi Future Lab tron Experience is a test drive of Audi's proud electric supercar, the "Audi R8 e-tron." While its shape is that of the "R8," its internals are almost entirely different. With its commercialization now on hold, opportunities to drive it are rare.

Audi future lab: mobility

Audi announced various research results related to mobility under the title "Audi future lab: mobility." The primary focus, of course, is reducing environmental impact through lower emissions from vehicles. However, this does not stop at technology that simply improves fuel efficiency. The characteristic of this research is that it presents a near-future vision of mobility encompassing urban transport, sports, and even energy, including fuel, and by positioning various research within this framework, it brings coherence and realism to the outlook. OPENERS features reports from the Audi Future Lab by Tatsuya Otani (Parts 1 and 2), as well as a report on the Audi Urban Future Initiative by Fumio Ogawa.

Part 1: Audi's Future Engine

Overcoming hybrid weaknesses, achieving more efficient energy extraction from internal combustion engines, and more economical engine control. The future of engines realized through high technology.

Part 2: Audi's Future Energy

As long as motion requires energy, completely eliminating emissions is nearly impossible. However, car manufacturers are challenging this difficult problem. Audi has presented a truly compelling answer!
