The Audi skysphere concept will celebrate its public premiere on August 13, 2021 as part of the Monterey Car Week - on the legendary fairways of the Pebble Beach golf course. So the unveiling of the vehicle in California takes place more or less in his homeland. The concept car was conceived and designed in the Audi Design Studio in Malibu, just a stone's throw from the Pacific Coast Highway, the legendary coastal road that connects the suburbs of Los Angeles with Northern California. Studio manager Gael Buzyn and his team are the creative minds behind the project. A legendary classic from the company's own history served as inspiration for the new groundbreaking model - the Horch 853 Roadster. The impressive convertible, which is also around 5.20 meters long.

An electric motor on the driven rear axle is responsible for transmitting power to the wheels of the Audi skysphere. A total of 465 kilowatts of power and 750 Newton meters of torque have it easy with the roadster, which weighs only around 1,800 kilograms. The weight distribution of around 60 percent on the driven rear axle ensures plenty of traction and, if necessary, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in just four seconds. The battery modules of the Audi skysphere are primarily positioned behind the cabin - an ideal configuration for the vehicle's center of gravity and agility. Further modules can be found between the seats in the center tunnel of the Skysphere interior - another position chosen for the benefit of driving dynamics. The capacity of the battery should be over 80 kWh, which gives the car a range of more than 500 kilometers according to the WLTP standard, at least in the economical GT mode.
