News_Stig Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Not quite as ground breaking as the original pricey aluminium spaceframe design, but Audi have confirmed a replacement for the A2.

The second-generation model will drop the pricey spaceframe construction of the original A2 for a conventional steel monocoque borrowed from the A1. This move is expected to result in ultra-keen pricing against front-drive rivals from BMW and Mercedes. The new A2’s styling remains under wraps, but Audi has hinted that it will follow the template of its predecessor, with a tall one-box design and relatively narrow tracks. Audi chairman Rupert Stadler has said electric drive is a priority and acknowledges the range extender set-up in the A1 e-tron is a distinct possibility for the A2. More conventional versions will share a range of four-cylinder petrols and diesels with the A1. Here's a guesswork picture....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
