Thread: Next-gen Audi P7 za prolijevati 350kg

Audi is to expand its SUV line-up, which will include a lighter Q7 A number of new SUVs could be added to Audis already-ekstenzivni range.
These include a new-generation Q7 SUV-a, 350kg lighter than the current car and at least one more coupe-like SUV that will slot between the Q3 i Q5. A sub-Q3 baby SUV is also planned, possibly inspired by the Crosslane Coupe, which was unveiled at September's Paris motor show.
Audis head of technical development, Wolfgang Durheimer, told Autocar the next-generation Q7 will benefit from a new multi-materials version of Audis next-generation MLB platformi.
An updated version of the architecture that underpins todays A4 to A7 models, the super-light version of the new MLB arhitekture used by the 2014 Q7 will mix steel, aluminium and carbonfibre structural parts. New zakivanje and bonding techniques are used in the construction and the bare body shell will be 200kg lighter than todays Q7.
The new Q7 structure is also likely to be used by the next Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Continental and forthcoming SUV.
The Audi management team will meet within the next week or so to prioritise these future projects, with the most important to get the green light immediately.
