This concept vehicle was developed as a part of the final year degree project of a graduate Edwin Conan of Australia’s RMIT University.
This concept of a supercar that is electric powered is designed with an outlook of 20-25 years into the future.The overall shape of the Avatar was influenced by the racing car Auto Union Type C Streamline of 1937. Though the two cars are divided by a century, they both share similar wheel arches that are pronounced and clinical lines.
No conventional doors are designed to the Avatar,but there is a canopy that is three-part and which provides entry and exit by opening upwards. Together with the dashboard and the steering wheel, the main canopy opens towards the front.Two canopies that are smaller, open backwards on top of the passenger seats. Simultaneously,a panel from the car’s bodywork comes down to form a step.
The car’s interior flaunts a layout of three seats with the driver positioned at the center, ahead of the passenger seats. A futuristic dashboard comprising of an LCD display that is also transparent and provides all data necessary for driving is present. A central screen on the steering wheel provides navigation information. A screen with heads-up-display, like those found in airplanes of high performance, can be provided by projecting additional information onto the canopy.
Based on the preferences of the driver, the steering wheel of the Avatar can be switched over with a joystick or a keypad, with the aid of the system of drive-by-wire.
The Audi Avatar is powered by a drive train that is all-electric and that which has four separate individual motors (one for a wheel), and a couple of battery packs that has a high-performance. For better distribution of weight, these battery packs are divided into two, with one present at the anterior and the other at the back. The projected cumulative output is 4,500 Nm (3,319 lb-ft) of torque and 544 horsepower, thus estimating the theoretical high speed of the car at 223 mph (360 Km/h), and a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) of 2.9 seconds of time.
The Avatar’s four ‘legs’ houses the wheels and is made of a deformable material that enables it to transform shape whenever you turn the wheels. The cars system of four-wheel -steering facilitates a high agility and handling of the vehicle
Maximum steering is provided by the front wheels and the wheels at the rear can turn to around ten degrees.
