2014 Audi Sport quattro Laserlight Concept - Review and Pictures

This season coming back from audi sports car that is Audi Sport quattro Laserlight. Dynamic design, immense power and new electronic features: Audi is presenting a fascinating technology concept car at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA. The Audi Sport quattro laserlight concept is reminiscent of the classic Sport quattro of 1983 while pointing towards the future - with the latest of the brand's technologies in plug-in hybrid drives, user control and display interfaces and lighting technology. Under the hood lies the same 700 hp/800 Nm hybrid powerplant that uses a twin-turbocharged 4.0 TFSI V8 engine collaborating with a 150 hp/400 Nm electric motor. It can get to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, on to a top speed of 305 km/h. More impressive still are the claims of 40 km/L and 50 km all-electric range. The coupe, a new evolutionary stage of the Sport quattro concept, painted in the color Plasma Red, combines the power of the historic Sport quattro with emotional elegance. Its body is tautly set over its large wheels. The overhangs are short, and the car's proportions show a sporty balance. With a wheelbase of 2,784 mm (109.61 in), it is 4,602 mm (181.18 in) long. At a width of 1,964 mm (77.32 in), the two-door model is very wide, and it is just 1,386 mm (54.57 in) tall, which is exceptionally low.

The interior of the Audi Sport quattro laserlight concept focuses very much on the driver. Even the multifunction sport steering wheel points the way towards future sporty production solutions. It has two buttons which the driver can use to control the hybrid drive, a red start-stop button, a button for the Audi drive select vehicle handling system and a "View" button to control the Audi virtual cockpit.

The new user interface has a menu structure whose intuitive layout is similar to that of a smart phone. All frequently used functions can be accessed lightning fast. For most inputs, just a few steps are needed thanks to a new free text search feature; generally just four characters suffice for a navigation address. The driver can quickly scroll through lists or zoom the map image using multitouch gestures on the touchpad. Voice control functionality has also been intensively further developed.
