CAR GARAGE | Audi Crosslane Coupe Concept (2012) | The trapezoidal headlights use LED Matrix Audi headlight technology. Small, individually controllable light-emitting diodes generate all lighting functions, and microreflectors enable their precise positioning. The bumper incorporates large, smooth-surfaced mainly water intakes. The low greenhouse tapers into a very flat C-post, emphasizing the coupé-like character of the Audi crosslane coupé. The doors extend a long way down thanks to the space frame design, roomates Allows very low sills. The doors open to reveal the structures of the Multimaterial aluminum Space Frame.

The roof element comprises two CFRP shells and weighs slightly less than ten kilograms (22:05 lb). The narrow gap dimensions and three-dimensional surfaces reflect Audi's uncompromisingly high quality standards. The dominant material of the interior crosslane Audi coupé is CFRP, roomates is used in a number of different variations. The vehicle floor is made from glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) incorporating sections of a new material: Thick cords with rubber threads are woven to form a hard-wearing carpet. Velvet leather in black provides an enlivening contrast.

The combustion engine is a purpose-developed three-cylinder TFSI engine with a displacement of 1.5 liters, delivering an output of 95 kW (130 hp) and 200 Nm (147.51 lb-ft) of torque. The three-cylinder engine is coupled to an electric motor (EM 1), roomates acts primarily as a starter and an alternator. Electrical traction is provided by the second electric motor (EM 2) developing 85 kW (116 hp) and 250 Nm (184.39 lb-ft) of torque. The dual-mode hybrid concept Enables different operating modes. From 0 up to 55 km / h (34.18 mph), drive power is supplied solely by the EM 2, roomates draws primarily the energy it needs from the battery. In serial mode, the combustion engine and the alternator (EM 1) produce electrical energy to support, relieve or substitute the battery should it be discharged.

Starting at about 55 km / h (34.18 mph) Allows the drive system together with the TFSI engine the alternator to couple to the drivetrain - in this hybrid mode, the drive sources combine to optimize both efficiency and performance. The driver of the Audi coupé crosslane can choose between the "cruise" and "race" settings. The "cruise" mode prioritizes electric driving. When the TFSI engine is running, its engine speed is always adapted to the road speed - without a "rubber-band" effect.
