The Audi grandsphere concept - First Class towards the future

As the second of three "Sphere" concept cars from the brand with the four rings, the Audi grandsphere occupies a special position. Many of the technologies and design features brought together here will be found in future production Audi models within a few years. The Audi grandsphere concept illustrates the brand's ambition to become a pacesetter for technological transformation and completely new, holistic mobility offerings in the automotive upper echelon. The electrically powered Audi skysphere concept roadster - the spectacular vision of an automated GT that transforms into a self-driven sports car with a variable wheelbase - already made its debut in August 2021. Both concept cars - and likewise the Audi urbansphere, the third representative of the trio due to appear in 2022 - are united by the derivation of the entire concept from the ability to drive automatically at Level 4. This is a technology that Audi is working toward introducing in the second half of the decade together with CARIAD, the Volkswagen Group's software think tank. Level 4: This not only changes the interior from the classic driver-oriented cockpit plus passenger seats to a spacious lounge as soon as the steering wheel and pedals retract. At the same time, it opens up new degrees of freedom for all passengers. The Audi grandsphere not only frees the driver from driving duties whenever possible. At the same time, it offers everyone on board a wide range of options for using this freedom to create individual experiences: Communication or relaxation, work or retreat into a private sphere when desired. The Audi grandsphere concept transforms itself from a pure automobile into an "experience device."
