The_Audi_A6_e_tron_concept_the_design

"Large 22-inch wheels and short overhangs, the flat cabin and wide coupe roof arch define the significantly sporty proportions. The absence of hard edges ensures smooth transitions between convex and concave surfaces in the body, as well as soft shadow gradients. Particularly in the side view, the Audi A6 e-tron concept appears monolithic, as if from a single mold. A typical Audi Sportback feature in the window graphics is the rise of the rear side window; as a result, the D-pillar grows emphatically slender from the stable base of the vehicle's rear end. The striking quattro wheel arches emphasize the width of the body and are at the same time organically integrated into the side surfaces. The wheel arches are connected by the specially sculpted battery area above the side sill, which is accentuated with a black inlay - a design element that is now typical of the Audi brand in the fleet of e-vehicles. Also typical of Audi e-tron: the petite camera-based virtual exterior mirrors at the root of the A-pillar. Looking at the front, the Audi A6 e-tron concept immediately reveals itself as an electrically powered representative of the brand. The large-scale, closed single frame is typical, flanked in the lower area by deep air inlets for cooling the drive, battery and brakes. The flat headlight bands are drawn far into the lateral sweep of the front, emphasizing the horizontally oriented architecture of the vehicle body."
