Sleek, stylish and functional, the Audi Activesphere Concept EV is a shapeshifting vehicle that can turn into a pickup truck at the push of a button. Power comes from dual electric motors generating a combined 436 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque. It has a range of over 600 kilometers (373 miles) on a full charge, and extremely fast charging times thanks to 800-volt technology.
Its autonomous chauffeuring capability on suitable terrain provides drivers and passengers a new level of freedom, thanks in part to mixed reality glasses that can be used in the Activesphere in a variety of ways. This means the vehicle will be able to display digital content in the occupants’ fields of vision in real time. All driver-relevant information, including driving status and navigation, can be displayed. The headset can also be used to see control panels and other virtual displays in a minimalist form factor that remains hidden to the unaided eye. There’s no word yet on pricing or availability, but some or these features should make their way into future Audi EVs.

The sphere concept vehicles show our vision for the premium mobility of the future. We are experiencing a paradigm shift, especially in the interior of our future Audi models. The interior becomes a place where the passengers feel at home and can connect to the world outside at the same time. The most important technical innovation in the Audi activesphere is our adaptation of augmented reality for mobility. Audi dimensions creates the perfect synthesis between the surroundings and digital reality,” said Oliver Hoffmann, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development.
