A glance into the future In November 2014 at the Los Angeles Motorshow, Audi presented the Audi prologue concept car, giving a look to the brand’s future design language. Only four months later, the premium manufacturer is showing a variant of its visionary concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The Audi prologue Avant combines dynamics, form and function in a perfect synthesis. With a length of 5.11 meters (16.8 ft) and a width of 1.97 meters (6.5 ft), the five-door car with its pioneering body concept positions itself clearly in the luxury class. At the same time, it offers unmistakeable sportiness and variability.

  • A Glance Into the Future: the Audi Prologue Avant
    A glance into the future: the Audi prologue Avant Progressive elegance, high variability and high-end technology with a length of 5.11 meters: The large five-door car with its stretched roof continues with the design language that Audi has initiated with its coupé study, the prologue, giving a look into the future. “With our show car for Geneva, we now translate the design language of the Audi prologue into a new, dynamic and stretched form. We are merging it with a concept of high variability”, says Board Member for Technical Development, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. “The Audi prologue Avant is progressive, emotion-filled and versatile, it reflects Audi’s technological competence and quality claim perfectly.” The brand with the four rings stands for sportiness, lightweight construction and the permanent all-wheel-drive quattro. The Audi prologue Avant brings progressive technology into a new form. The large five-door car with its stretched roof and extremely flat D-pillars combines power and flowing elegance. Its design reflects the Audi quattro genes. In the interior, as well, the show car captivates the driver with innovative solutions – the architecture forms a new whole with its display and control concept. The driver and the passengers are digitally connected with one another. The continuous front of the dashboard consists of three touch displays, a major part of control and communication between the driver and the co-driver as well as passengers in the rear is realized by two OLED-displays (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). The Audi prologue Avant uses the plug-in hybrid drive of the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro at a higher development level.

    * 1:20 Lotus 88 * Bugatti T18 Kit * Maserati A6GCS * 1:24 Mk1 Escorts * 2015 LM Ferraris 04-2016 NEWS Spark diecast Late Season MP4-30s Spark were the pioneers of what we now refer to as resincast models and have certainly contributed to significant changes in the model market since they first arrived on the scene some fifteen or so years ago. The tooling for resin production allows for far smaller quantities than traditional diecast metal and so we see many subjects that may not otherwise be viable due to potential sales figures. The lower numbers do mean higher prices however and for some subjects with more mass appeal, die-casting can still be the effective way of making a model and Spark have recognised this and are adding a new series to their catalogue (see forthcoming supplement), with much lower pricing (£27.95) than the resin production and innovative packaging to help them stand out. We saw the first test samples at Nurnberg in February and they are now approaching release. Ebbro’s 1:20 plastic kit of the mid-season McLaren from 2015 (EBB20014) has proved very popular and many builders are now eagerly awaiting the early season car (EBB20013). There’s another to add to the wish list now as, in ad- dition to the livery charge, the McLaren had a significant nose redesign from Austria and this will be represented by another new kit for the Japanese GP (EBB20015). The photo above shows the test mouldings alongside the mid- season car. 1:43 resincast releases of the late season car are also due for both Alonso (EBB45328) and Button (EBB45329).

  • Audi Prologue Avant
    Audi prologue Avant The plug-in hybrid drive of the Audi prologue Avant is almost identical to the powertrain in the Audi Q7 e-tron quattro* which will be launched in summer 2015. The 3.0 TDI engine installed in the Audi prologue Avant outputs a maximum of 260 kW (353 hp), a powerful electric motor integrated in the eight-speed tiptronic contributes up to 100 kW. System output is 335 kW (455 hp), while system torque is 750 Nm (553.2 lb-ft). The eight speed tiptronic directs engine power to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive ensuring superior drive characteristics in any situation. The show car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 5.1 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 250 km/h (155.3 mph). The Audi prologue Avant consumes an average of only 1.6 liters per 100 kilometers (147.0 US mpg) according to the NEDC standard for plug-in hybrid vehicles – corresponding to 43 grams of carbon emissions per kilometer. The lithium-ion battery pack in the rear storing 14.1 kWh of energy gives the car a range of 54 kilometers (33.6 mi) in pure electric drive mode. With its AWC (Audi wireless charging) technology which Audi is developing for series production, the battery can also be charged inductively. AWC technology provides energy from a floor plate which is connected to the power grid and which can be embedded on or into the asphalt. This plate integrates a primary coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter).
