Audi Plans to make it Large By 2012


The 2010 Geneva Motor Show is just over and the car makers now know what the buyers are eyeing. Yes, you’re right. The green and hybrid cars at the Geneva auto show made it a big hit. With the pollution levels just hitting the ozone layer and endangering everybody’s lives on earth, it is high time we realized the danger in India too. Audi has realized this, hasn’t it?

For car manufacturers, it is not really the green mantra. It is just that the electric and hybrid vehicles are becoming more and more popular, and the makers want to mint money. In another two years, Volkswagen Group’s Audi line will give car buyers a huge inventory of hybrid and electric vehicles. Yes, the car makers are hurrying before the green light for the eco-friendly automobiles switches.

Audi is targeting a 30 per cent increase in internal combustion engine efficiency and is also planning for five per cent of Audi vehicles to be electric. A highly competent Audi plans to have a new array of cars that includes a highly efficientA8 Hybrid sedan strapped with a powerful 2.0 Litre, 211 bhp engine and houses the 45 bhp motor. The hybrid will be quick. Wondering about the efficiency scale? Well, it is going to be a flattering 16.4 km/l.

The new Audi Hybrid was showcased as a concept car at the Geneva Motor Show. But, no worries. The launch is likely to happen very soon. Yes, the market release will happen sooner than expected. Oh yes! We just mentioned that Audi will have a full inventory of electric and hybrid vehicles. There are other cars joining the A8 Hybrid.

The new Q5 crossover variant too will be out in no time. By 2012, car enthusiasts and buyers will be pleased to see the hybrid version of the Q5 crossover. There’s no stop. After this, Audi wants the A6 hybrid on the roads. If you know of the A6 sedan design, this new A6 hybrid will be a fuel or electric version of that well-accepted vehicle design. Audi has big dreams now.

Remember how Audi was successful in making Quattro synonymous with its all-wheel-drive vehicle designs? Now it plans to do the same with the e-Tron brand. The main intention behind making the news of the hybrid vehicles public, is the laying of the foundation for the Audi e-Tron concept.

Audi’s smallest e-Tron features a 16 bhp an hour lithium ion battery pack that pours out a balanced stream of electrons to a front-mounted electric motor with 102 bhp. The Wankel rotary engine is characteristic of one lone rotor that transfers 254cc and sits just at the rear of the battery bundle under the rear seat. The complete package of the Audi e-Tron weighs just 70 kilogram and puts out a pleasant and solid stream of power at a constant 5,000 RPM.

So now, we all know Audi plans to make it large. It is going to climb new heights in another two years. Yes Audi, we are listening. For those who don’t know, Audi is the Latinized version of the word ‘listen’.
