The Design of the Audi skysphere concept - FIRST LOOK
9It’s a long two-door vehicle that according to the manufacturer is trying to ‘redefine progressive luxury.’
One of the three concepts that will define the future of Audi is the newly revealed Skysphere. It’s a long, sleek two-door grand tourer whose design is meant to evoke the spirit of the traditional GT car, but also show how it could end up looking in the not too distant future.
In other words, this is a design exercise meant to preview the design direction of Audi’s future sporty models. Its front end gets very slim headlight clusters, but a big illuminated faux grille (that Audi calls the Singleframe) dominates the fascia. Even though it won’t be needed for EVs, Audi has announced that the grille is a design feature it intends to keep purely for aesthetics.
Audi doesn’t currently make a large continent-crossing coupe, but the Skysphere’s elongated profile makes us wish it did. The vehicle has a swept back rear end with lots of overhang and its designers wanted to give it a hint of the popular 1930s boat tail design. The rear end is tapered and quite simple, dominated by the full width LED light bar that has several stacked rows of lights.
