Design and body
Spectacular - a term which sums up the visual impact of the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro painted in "Copper Sunset", whether the top is up or down. After all, without the hint of a compromise, the concept car combines classic Audi convertible hallmarks, such as the elegant fabric hood and aluminium A-pillar surface, with the undisguised dynamism of a sports car and the masculine presence of a genuine SUV.
4.62 m long, 1.91 m wide and with a wheelbase of 2.81 m: the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro has the dimensions of a B-segment vehicle. The longitudinally mounted engine and the basic chassis and drivetrain architectures are taken from the inventory of modules used in the current Audi A4 and Audi A5 model lines. The SUV-style height of 1.63 m with the hood closed marks the most significant difference to these relatives of the Cross Cabriolet quattro.
High passive safety
High passive safety Body stiffness and passive safety measure up to the typical standards of an Audi convertible. This is achieved with reinforcements to the A-pillar, the rear seat cross member and the sill area, in addition to a simple trick that exploits the extra body height of an SUV. The Cross Cabriolet quattro has a double underbody that turns the open profile of a convertible body into a closed structure, producing a major increase in stiffness. This design feature is efficient and economical in equal measure, since it replaces conventional modifications that involve numerous body components and require significantly more material, thus adding more weight.
Interior
The interior of the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro offers sophistication and ergonomically perfect solutions in all areas and with all its materials. The smooth and soft surfaces together with a gentle, natural blend of colors help to provide an atmosphere of absolute ease for the occupants. For additional convenience, each passenger has a heatable and coolable cup holder, located in the centre console at the front and in the side walls at the rear.
The driver and passengers enjoy the comfort of four spacious individual seats. The seating is entirely upholstered in "White Stone" leather. All occupants benefit from lateral support and excellent long-distance comfort. To enhance comfort when driving with the top down, all four seats are equipped with an airscarf function. Air vents on the head restraints serve to compensate for the air turbulence around the occupant's neck.
Infotainment
Google Earth, the interactive, three-dimensional atlas of the world, has gained a firm role on all personal computers. Now this software is making life easier on the road too. Audi has, for the first time ever, brought together the merits of the internet-based system Google Earth and its own built-in navigation system to create countless information facilities with user-friendly graphics.
The high-resolution display and photorealistic 3D maps provide a new dimension in intuitively understandable bird's eye visualizations that are rich in detail. The image angle and section can of course be adjusted to suit the driver's wishes at any time. By connecting to the internet, it will also be possible in future for traffic and weather information or even data on air quality to be included and taken into account in planning your route.
Bang & Olufsen sound system and internet radio
Leading the way in technical and acoustical quality is the sound system from Bang & Olufsen. Derived from the unit used in the A8 luxury saloon, it is no less of a delight to the ear in the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro. With its sparkling, brilliant reproduction, detailed resolution, precise spatial imaging and broad, well defined frequency spectrum, this product from the Danish sound specialists satisfies every wish with its high precision and quality.
The key element in the Bang & Olufsen sound system is an amplifier with a supreme output rating of 505 watts. It processes signals digitally according to the manufacturer¡¯s own surround algorithm, which enables the occupant of every seat to enjoy the full splendor of the system¡¯s audio quality. The numerous user settings include four sound focuses. The system analyses the noise level inside the vehicle by means of a microphone and makes selective adjustments to its output signals in specific frequency ranges.
Drivetrain
Power is supplied by the latest stage of evolution of the three-liter diesel with common rail direct injection. It develops 176 kW (240 bhp) and has an impressive maximum torque of 500 Nm. It is this ultra-powerful TDI with a displacement of 2,967 cc that truly makes the Cross Cabriolet quattro a sports car. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds and has a top speed of 240 km/h - yet the average fuel consumption is a mere 7.3 l/100 km. The 500 Nm provide a mighty surge of acceleration starting from just above idling speed.
The cleanest diesel in the worldThe new 3.0 TDI with ultra-low emission system is a further step forward that demonstrates the potential of the Audi TDI. Drivers are thrilled not only by the dynamism of 176 kW (240 bhp) and the outstanding torque of 500 Nm, but also by its modest fuel consumption and extremely low emissions. 10/15 www.audi-mediaservices.com
The ultra-low emission system raises the principle of the direct-injection turbocharged diesel to a new level. To develop it, Audi¡¯s engineers combined a whole package of innovative measures. A new common rail system with piezo injectors operating at a pressure of 2,000 bar, high-efficiency exhaust gas recirculation and further optimised turbocharging join forces to achieve a significant reduction in untreated emissions.
Quattro drive
The Audi Cross Cabriolet always transmits its power to the road through the quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Here again it delivers the supreme capabilities that have become an Audi hallmark in the years since this driveline was launched in 1980 - enhanced driving dynamics, safety and directional stability, together making up Audi¡¯s proverbial ¡®Vorsprung durch Technik¡¯. Added to this, there is the legendary traction of the quattro driveline even under the toughest conditions, making it ideally suited to off-road driving.
Dynamic chassis
The dynamic chassis on the Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro combines precision and dynamism with a high level of stability. The suspension mountings, steering, wheels and brakes have been developed for top performance and numerous aluminum components are used to keep unsprung masses to a minimum.
Audi drive select
The Audi Cross Cabriolet quattro is equipped with Audi drive select, as optionally available in the current generation of the bestselling Audi A4. This allows you to preselect three highly individual configurations for the engine and gear-change characteristics, and the adaptive shock absorbers. The result is a car that can be enjoyed in completely different ways and that offers a huge potential in the field of efficiency. |
