In attempting to combine the elements of a racing car, fun car and an urban car into one package, Audi have developed a futuristic go-kart with their latest concept, the Audi Urban.

Audi say they have developed the concept based on strict principles of lightweight construction, efficiency and reduction. This has resulted in a concept car with no unnecessary weight. The roof is designed to be manoeuvrable and slides to the rear to open, enabling entry into the vehicle.

The wheels are free-standing, their surrounding protective plates feature blinking strips of LED lights. The Audi urban concept rolls on wheels with a 21-inch diameter.

The Audi Urban is powered by two e-tron electric motors, providing the ultra-light Audi urban concept with the ability to accelerate powerfully, with a lithium-ion battery supplying the energy.

Inside there is room for two people with the seating positions slightly staggered. It looks like a potentially tight squeeze. The cockpit consists of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer, which integrates the undercarriage of both seats.

Audi Urban key features:

• An innovative urban concept car with 1+1 seats
• Sleek cockpit made from CFRP, free-standing wheels with protective plates
• Elaborate suspension, compact electric drive system for sporty performance
