During the launch of Audi’s new 2012 Audi A6, Wolfgang Egger, who spearheads the Audi Design Group has made an effort to explain the difference between the family-models ranging from A4 to A8 and the more alcove models of the E-tron, A7, and R8. Egger claims that the latter alcove models help to hone the emotions set by the Audi brand.
According to Egger, the A2 model had gone a restyling process, however, the Volkswagen Group has gone short when it comes to coming up with the right angle where it can be launched. Ergo, the development of the A1 model wouldn’t cease to continue as it appeals best to urbanites. Another five-door hatchback model will join the existing three-door A1 model in its roster, despite the latter has yet to roll out into the US marketplace. A cabriolet and an S1 model that is powered with a 180-horsepower engine will also join the ranks. Moreover, an all-wheel drive version will make its first appearance this March at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show.
Egger has also statement the possibility of a “sport crossover” that will go head to head with its target rival, the BMW X6. He stated how the sport crossover has become a successful model in China. Moving on, he mentioned that the brand has closed a sale closed to 228,000 units in China alone and indeed, it was a big difference when you compare it to the 100,000 units that were sold in the US. This difference in sales make a powerful reminder when it comes to future designs.
