The exterior design of the smart #3 impresses with a powerful shark nose, framed by sleek LED headlights and an A-shaped radiator grille that emphasizes the wide appearance. The large, bold 19-inch wheels for the Pro, Pro+, and Premium, as well as 20-inch wheels for the BRABUS version, underscore the sporty character of the Sports Utility Coupé (SUC). The vehicle's coupé shape, combined with a lowered body, the Active Air Intake Grille (AGS), the front air duct and wheel arches, the rear diffuser, and the dynamic spoiler, reduces drag and increases agility. This results in a range of up to 455 kilometers (WLTP) and a low drag coefficient of 0.27. Signature details such as a trunk button integrated into the letter "a" of the smart logo at the rear of the vehicle, or distinctive features such as the 1.6 m² panoramic halo roof, which can be opened for an even wider view, round out the exceptional design of all smart #3 lines. The interior of the smart #3 is characterized by ergonomic shapes and high-quality materials. Thoughtful and distinctive color combinations allow customers to choose the combination that best suits their needs. The front seats with integrated headrests and lower seating positions enhance the energetic driving experience and offer a high level of comfort and lateral support. A high-quality steering wheel and a center armrest in the rear contribute to a high level of driving comfort. A large central 12.8-inch screen, air vents in a sporty turbine design, and rivet design elements with the smart logo on the seats complete the premium look and feel.
Audi has unveiled the first member of a new family of concept vehicles, a spectacular roadster. Audi skysphere concept is the name of the electric-powered, two-door convertible whose lines lead directly to the Audi design of tomorrow. With it, the brand is illustrating its vision for the progressive luxury segment of the future, in which the interior becomes an interactive space and the vehicle a platform for captivating experiences. This is being made possible thanks to autonomous driving, a revolutionary redesign of the interior, and a seamless digital ecosystem. The Audi skysphere concept shows how the brand is redefining luxury in the future – it’s no longer just about driving. The concept car was designed with the clear objective of offering its occupants captivating and world-class experiences. To give passengers the maximum amount of freedom, the Audi skysphere concept was designed for two different driving experiences: a grand touring experience and a sports experience. This makes use of a spectacular technical detail – the variable wheelbase. Electric motors and a sophisticated mechanism with body and frame components that slide into one another make it possible to vary the wheelbase itself and the exterior length of the car by 250 millimeters. At the same time, the vehicle’s ground clearance is adjusted by 10 millimeters to enhance comfort and driving dynamics.
