The Bigger Picture: Electrification | Audi Q6 e-tron prototype
Hi I’m Sebastian Copeland and I’d like to invite you on a Journey right this moment Audi is navigating through the greatest transformation in Automotive History the shift from combustion engines to Electric dri trains in this episode we’ll explore how Audi’s key technological and design breakthroughs are ushering in the car of tomorrow and redefining performance style and comfort so let’s go
Explore what you can experience now is our premium platform electric yeah the handling is exceptional Roger so you have loyal Audi customers you have transitioning them to an electric vehicle how much of the identity of Audi is transmitted into this new technology yeah if you come from an
R8 everybody has the vibration the emotion coming from the engine if we now switch to the electric future that you don’t have this natural acoustic support but you have some brutal acceleration oh wow this is a hell of a ride I love this car so you have to stick to Driving
Experience you have to stick to the feeling in the Car yeah no I just switched to the dynamic mode yeah it’s it’s very sporty it’s fun you’re able to just control the car with one pedal but only use the recuperation full disclosure that’s what I’ve been doing the the whole the whole time we put a lot of effort in the
Recuperation power so you can collect as much energy as possible during the ride yeah there are many topics we can um translate from the last 20 or 30 years to the today and to the Future like for example our quatro feeling and the all will drive maybe if you take the next
Corner you can step a little bit more down the acceleration um and you will see the car is like on Rails so we are very quick in in distributing torque and power to every of the four wheels and gives us the feeling of having the control to be perfectly balanced to every road condition you have and I understand that you have a holistic approach to range
Which is quite unique to Audi could you expand on that for me if we speak about our perfect concept it means to reach a very good everyday suitability but also safe weight costs and resources we went to every corner of the car like the engines the high voltage systems and
Even the um climate controls to put the efficiency on the edge and the goal behind is it’s not to use the biggest battery you can but the battery you need so the approach is not to put just big batteries in the car but to give the customer an overall package in terms of
Driving Dynamics costs but also in terms of range is a perfect fit and are there lessons that you’ve learned from the internal combustion engine vehicles that you can apply to the electric models yes definitely if you look on the whole car development there are several disciplines like the suspension tuning
Like the body tuning which basically stays the same surely they have to improve in terms of weight and in terms of Dynamics but the expert from the internal combustion engine vehicle is also able to tune the electric vehicle cars in your opinion what makes an Audi
An Audi that’s what we call Audi DNA and from for me the Audi DNA delivers a feeling not only numbers and parameters but the feeling of being Dynamic being precise and being effortless that looks like you’re having fun Sebastian you know it’s it’s easy to have fun in this
Car it gives you incredible amount of control but what do you think is the ideal range for a battery powered vehicle yeah as we say the race is not decided on the track but maybe on the charging point right now we are speaking about 27 20 Kow in our q6 rron during
The charging and in addition with our high charging performance the brakes will be so short that the coffee is still too hot to drink that’s what I experienced on my last trips with the q6 rron and you Roger if you were to imagine the Driving Experience 10 years
From now what does that look like we want to write the next chapter of mobility and this chapter should be electric for us and we will rather have the choice to be the pilot or be the passenger who’s driven by our Audi I mean I’m really loving this [Applause] Ride
Step into an electrifying episode of ‘The Bigger Picture’. Join us in the Audi Q6 e-tron prototype* and explore how electrification is driving sustainable progress and evolving the Audi DNA.
