Audi at the IAA in Frankfurt, the Audi A2 Concept. The sequel to the original set in 2005 for lack of success in the future go to A2 as a pure electric car at the start. The Audi A2 concept is designed as a four-seater and comes with a length of 3.8 meters or shorter than the numerically actually mean maneuverable Audi A1. With a width of 1.69 meters and height of 1.49 meters, the Audi A2 concept is in fact almost to locate in the subcompact class. Much new technology, Audi has unveiled the concept car: the glass roof can be clear or obscure electric switch.When the headlights comes the next generation of matrix-baptized Beam LED light for use. The rear lights also feature LED technology to fit their luminosity in the visibility. 

With little visibility creates the rear fog light means a light beam and laser diode projected a red warning triangle on the road. There is more light there on the side. A complete LED lighting strip extends below the window line from front to rear.During the ride, it serves as an additional position light, the flashing light pulses running through the tape. During braking, a red light beam passes forward. In addition, motion sensors have been integrated to allow you to unlock your doors, the gesture control. ‘s information technology to drive it yet. Targeted is the start of production: 2016 Audi will be the extent, the A2 to get an electric car on the road.

BMW continues to work on perhaps the strongest debut of the year – M6 is at least from the perspective of the Munich-based car maker and its new BMW Motorsport GmbH From the speech. A Car Blog is now an actual prototype camouflaged with small coupé body come before the lens of his camera. The new BMW M6 (2012) is the successor to the predecessor set in mid-2010. Also it will give it back as a coupe and convertible but not for longer with a V10 engine and 507 horsepower. The engine for the new BMW M6 is a 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 with 560 hp. Whether the new BMW M6 is at the IAA 2011, which begins in two weeks, already officially introduce? Here at this site, you will find out.

About the premiere single-seater of a savings from VW at the IAA, we had already reported, the details are now known. VW Nils is the somewhat quaint name of the study, with the Volkswagen travels to Frankfurt. The single-seater is yet another electric midget of the group next to the Urban Concept Audi. The Nils in VW-seater open-wheel design is intended to serve as a research vehicle. Three meters long, 1.4 meters wide and only 1.2 meters of electricity, will be entered via double doors.

VW calls its aluminum construction for an empty weight of 460 pounds. The power is delivered by an electric motor with 25 kW maximum powers that can be demanded but only for short sprints. In normal operation of the e-motor with 15 kW on the road. The range should be 65 kilometers, which is limited Nils as a pure city car. When 5.3 kWh power storage works comprehensive lithium-ion battery, charging time at the outlet: about two hours. For city driving the speed limit drops from the VW Nils quite abundant: up to 130 km / h it can be run – for commuters from the countryside with a good argument.

At the IAA, the smart forvision – a joint project between the car maker Daimler and chemicals group BASF to be seen. The smart forvision is a technology showcases in its conception and the makers Etwicklung said that especially the issue is with sustainable electric mobility in mind. Energy efficiency is the main theme of innovative smart forvision, produced by the power-generating organic dye solar cells on the roof. To increase the range of smart forvision, Daimler and BASF also consistently lightweight construction and the new BASF High-performance material Ultramid, which should allow for the same stability, a weight reduction of up to 30 percent compared to metal.
From the new super-material is also the wheel of the smart forvision made. Because this is being it is the first production-ready all-plastic rim: Another debut at the IAA in Frankfurt.
