The Greentech Celebration, of which Audi is an establishing accomplice, visits London on October 13-14 as the gathering proceeds with its reality visit welcoming conversation around supportability points and ecological security. Greentech Celebration’s excursion to the UK capital follows shows in Berlin and New York recently.
First unveiled in August 2021 as part of Monterey Car Week, the innovative Audi skysphere was the first in a family of new concept cars that demonstrate Audi’s design and technology for a new generation – transforming the vehicle into a platform for exciting experiences. Taking shape as a spectacular roadster, the skyphere is a fully electric two-door grand tourer fitted with automated driving technology. Designed for maximum freedom it provides two intense driving experiences: sporty driving of an agile roadster with short wheelbase and first-class comfort of a grand tourer with an extended wheelbase.
Huge emphasis is placed on the interior, or sphere, of the concept car which in grand touring mode provides 25cm more space for the passengers to relax. The Art Deco-inspired design and layout boast elegant designer furnishings and seats upholstered in sustainably produced microfiber fabric, which offer a level of comfort and freedom usually reserved for first-class aviation. Environmentally certified eucalyptus wood and synthetically produced imitation leather are other sustainably manufactured materials that trim the elegant cabin.
