執行緒： 282 mpg 奧迪城市車計畫

奧迪 A1 基於城市車可涵蓋多個 280 加侖/英里，根據老闆奧迪正在謀劃能力 282 mpg 的四座城市車。這輛車將基於當前的奧迪 A1 平臺。

An Audi A1-based city car could cover more than 280mpg, according to bosses Audi is plotting a four-seat city car capable of 282mpg. The car will be based on the current Audi A1 platform.
Wolfgang Durheimer, Audis new head of technical development told Autocar that the car, known internally as the Audi 1. 0-litre car, will be based on the platform of the current A1 and will be an affordable full four-seater that offers all the creature comforts of a normal car, including climate control.
Although details are still sparse, what promises to be the most economical family car ever sold will have electrical assistance, but it wont use the two-cylinder diesel engine seen in the two-seat VW XLR-1 prototype.
Durheimer says the 1. 0-litre car can use a modified version of the A1s steel platform because weight is not the biggest engineering challenge with this project. However, it is expected that the cars interior will be radically lighter than normal, as will the suspension system.
Audi could use a new type of injection-moulded carbonfibre for some components, which can be made in just two and half minutes, hugely more rapid process than conventional carbonfibre manufacturing. Its thought that the project is at least three years from the showroom.
