  • Die Wichtigsten Neuen Modelle Zusammengefasst
    Die wichtigsten neuen Modelle zusammengefasst Der Audi E-tron wird das erste rein elektrische Auto der Marke Audi sein. Die Abmessungen des Show-Cars, das in Frankfurt auf der IAA vorgestellt wurde, betragen 4,88 m in der Länge, 1,93 m in der Breite und 1,54 in der Höhe. Das Kofferraumvolumen beträgt 615 Liter bei umgeklappter Rücksitzbank 1.725 Liter. Diese Maße wird das fertige Serienfahrzeug in etwa übernehmen. Audi benennt die Batterieleistung mit 95 kWh. Dies reicht 400 km weit. Audis zweites reinelektrisches Modell wird der Audi E-tron Sportback. Das Modell wird voraussichtlich 2019 erscheinen. Der E-tron Sportback wird sich viel Technik mit dem Audi E-tron teilen. Durch die nach hinten abfallende Dachkante bietet der E-tron Sportback weniger Platz im Fond. Die Linienführung und die Coupé Form wirken sich auch auf das Äußere aus. Somit sieht der E-tron Sportback deutlich sportlicher aus als der E-tron. Einen rein elektrischen Sportwagen wird Audi vermutlich im Jahr 2020 auf den Markt bringen. Die 800 Volttechnik und die 100 kWh große Unterflurbatterie wird sich der E- tron GT mit dem Taycan von Porsche teilen. Die typischen Merkmale von Audi´s Designsprache bei den E-tron´s wird er ebenso bekommen Der Vierte rein elektrische Audi wird voraussichtlich 2020 auf den Markt kommen. Der Audi E-tron Kompakt wird den Modularen Elektrobaukasten von VW benutzen. Wird sich von der Größe her am Audi A3 orientieren und sich die technische Basis mit dem vergleichbaren elektrischen Modell dem VW Modell I.D. teilen. 2021 wird der Audi Aicon kommen.

  • Der Crashtest-Ära Bei Audi
    04.12.2013 12:04 CET Vor 75 Jahren: Start der Crashtest-Ära bei Audi • Audi zählt zu den sichersten Marken im Wettbewerb • Euro NCAP-prämierte aktive Sicherheitssysteme im Audi A3 Sicherheit hat bei Audi eine lange Tradition: Vor 75 Jahren ließen Ingenieure von DKW erstmals den Kleinwagen F7 im Dienste der Sicherheit einen Hang hinunterrollen und brachten ihn dabei gezielt zum Überschlag. Seit diesem ersten Crashversuch bei DKW, einer der vier Vorgänger-Marken von Audi, macht die Marke mit den Vier Ringen regelmäßig mit neuen Sicherheitsfeatures auf sich aufmerksam. Ende 1938 rollte der DKW-Kleinwagen F7 in Golm bei Potsdam einen Berg hinunter. Mit Hilfe einer Rampe brachten die Ingenieure den Wagen zum Überschlag, als Beweis der Sicherheit und Stabilität des Autos. Vor den Augen staunender Zuschauer und einer Kamera überschlug sich der Kleinwagen mehrmals, bevor er mit laufendem Motor und nahezu unbeschädigter Karosserie liegenblieb. Dieses Ereignis markierte den Beginn der Crashtests bei Audi und weiterer Innovationen im Bereich der Automobilsicherheit. Zu den Meilensteinen zählt unter anderem das Entwickeln von Knautschzonen, um das Verletzungsrisiko für Fahrer und Passagiere zu reduzieren. Ein NSU Prinz von 1958 zum Beispiel konnte bereits einen guten Teil der Energie eines Frontaufpralls in der Knautschzone absorbieren. Ab Ende der 1960er Jahre, bei der Entwicklung des NSU Ro 80 und des ersten Audi 100 kamen erstmals Dummys zur Analyse der Auswirkungen eines Unfalls auf den Menschen zum Einsatz. Um die Crashergebnisse noch besser reproduzierbar zu machen, weihte Audi in Ingolstadt bereits 1970 die erste Crashhalle ein. Sie ist, mehrfach modifiziert, noch heute im Einsatz. Nach und nach gab es immer exaktere Messergebnisse und die Kameratechnik hielt Einzug in die Crashforschung.
