Audi AI:TRAIL quattro Electric Off-Roader

The Audi AI:TRAIL quattro combines the capacity for automated driving with superb off-road capabilities. The glass surrounding the cabin extends all the way to ground level, providing unrivaled all-round visibility. The ample battery capacity ensures sufficient range even away from dense networks of charging stations.

The performance specifications for the Audi AI:TRAIL are markedly different from those for conventional automobiles. That is because the car’s development was not about achieving remarkably quick acceleration or hitting breathtaking speeds on the autobahn.

Given that the AI:TRAIL is intended for use in areas without charging infrastructure, the thing that really draws the attention is its range. The stated target with its lithium-ion battery is 400 to 500 kilometers (248.5 to 310.7 mi) on roads or easy off-road terrain (in line with the WLTP). On rough ground, where the almost constantly elevated wheel slip alone means that energy consumption is higher, the limit is still an impressive 250 kilometers (155.3 mi).

In order to meet these requirements, the vehicle is designed to reach a maximum speed of 130 km/h (80.8 mph) on the road. The vehicle electronics continuously monitor the energy flow and consumption, thereby ensuring maximum economy even during off-road driving.

In terms of drive hardware, the Audi AI:TRAIL is equipped with four electric motors installed near the wheels, each of which propels one wheel directly. As is typical for Audi, the off-roader is therefore a true quattro. The maximum system output is 320 kW and the maximum torque is 737.6 lb-ft (1,000 Nm). Usually only a fraction of this power is mobilized; the drive of just one axle is often sufficient.

One thing about car design is that if it looks too futuristic it's probably going to remain in the concept archive. Lovely design but I don't see the TRAIL Quattro released for the masses.

[johndoug_]

When I get this car, I’m gonna fall asleep while this suv is driving me around the mountains!

[DAVIDE-bkby]

Yeah but its never going look like this in reality, and headlight drones! What could go wrong?

[kniefi]

So the designers played the original Halo and tried to come up with something similar ;-)

[faeeza]

I actually thought the drones would make the car fly 😂
I was waiting for that part 😂
Ah! got excited for nothing

[dcxSpartan]

Looks like a Mars Musk heavy breathing'

[rolandgue]

How fast my iPhone will fly in the cabin when I drive off-road...

[Saidifect]

*3:45** "The idea that you would become one with the nature" Yea right, in a transformers looking car and having drones flying in front of you to illuminate the path*

The presenter looked like he came off the set of Sprockets. "And now...VEE DANCE!!"

[tdv]

Brilliant, no news on this since 2019, hope it will go into productionn

[redfirekla]

If drone hits tree 🌲 you pull the Ace Venture move except you hold a flash light out the window 😂

[debendragurung]

This is one of the coolest and smartes off-road design. The front tyre placement is smart. Instead of doing the fronk designs like Ryvian - it actually makes sense to not have fronk at all.

Audi electric cars looks are great :-) What do you think about it?
*Thumbs up!* Great video...

[mykevenable]

It's like an out of body experience !! If this is a metaphor for life, it's a great one.

[Raakkstar]

Wow Audi! You managed to create the SUV 2.0 This is impressive. Me want one!

[meadmaker]

I really love the look of this thing. Obviously, drone headlights aren't going to make it to market, but I would love to see a road-going version close to this. The idea of using a smart phone for dash functions is a good one, too, but they need a more secure dock. Let's see what this looks like if/when it comes to market!

The new EV era has certainly set the AUDI design team freer than it has been for a long time – I salute it, it is inspiring – The AI:TRAIL is simply a stunning concept and what I like the most is the take on EVs essentially not needing classic car front anymore – That usually brings out some very bland and shuttle-like concepts with no attitude – but not in this case. I hope they will put something like this into production – it might be perfect within the next 5-8 years. Well done AUDI from a BMW fan.

Wie geil is den DAS TEIL! DAS IST EIN VOLLTREFFER! Finde ich... Hut ab, AUDI!

[hemilife]

Can’t wait for this concept to be released in 2050
