Summer is here, and it’s time for people to go on their long-awaited holidays. In a year that is still burdened by the COVID-19 pandemic, 39% of Europeans will be travelling by car this summer, with domestic tourism as the main trend, according to the European Travel Commission (ETC). The same organisation estimates that a large proportion of Europeans will enjoy beach vacations, with 14.6% planning to visit the countryside and 11.6% heading to cities for urban tourism. Whatever the destination, cars will play a fundamental role in mobility, to travel around both the major tourist destinations and the most impressive rural hideaways.

The new era of technology on which Audi has embarked can also be experienced in the interior of the Q4 e-tron and the Q4 Sportback e-tron. The instrument panel introduces itself with progressive elegance and underlines the airy feeling of spaciousness. The cockpit features a distinctly three-dimensional design, and its geometric volumes are interrelated in an electrifying way. In both the electric SUVs, the operating and display units take on the function of design elements more than ever. The digital instrument for the driver is embedded like a diamond between two volumes – a short one on the left-hand side, which incorporates an air vent, and a long one on the right-hand side. It extends all the way to the front passenger door and integrates further air vents. The central MMI touch display, which appears clean and light, occupies the space in front of it. It is tilted toward the driver and is positioned within ergonomically easy reach. A lean inlay, known as the tech layer, lies above the display and connects it with the instrument panel. The choice of surface materials for this panel includes open-pore lime wood, aluminum in two different designs, and plastic. The inlay in the S line interior will also be available as an alternative shortly after market launch with an innovative, anthracite-colored technical fabric that is made partly of recycled materials.
Thirty years ago, the former Daimler-Benz AG commissioned Porsche for a high-performance saloon. Today, two of the people involved in the development of the Mercedes-Benz 500 E remember what that project was like. It was unveiled at the 1990 Paris Motor Show and went on sale in the spring of 1991. The 500 E impressed the world at the beginning of that decade with the way it combined the comfort of a passenger car with the performance of a passenger car. sports. To commemorate the model's 30th anniversary and celebrate its status as a classic, the Porsche Museum has hosted two members of the team who were involved in its development to discover the exciting history behind it.
