In less than half a year, Audi has released three new Sphere concept cars in succession, almost all of which are pure electric models! This includes a replacement for the new next-generation Audi A8: the Audi Grandsphere Concept;
Audi Grandsphere concept car will undoubtedly be the future Audi flagship sedan, its car up to 5350mm, the length of the car beyond the current Audi A8L extended model, according to foreign media reports, the Grandsphere production version will appear in 2025, when it will be unveiled as a new generation of Audi flagship, replacing the current Audi A8 model, then at least a new Audi A8 e-tron model, or not called A8 at all!
At present, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class already has an electric EQS-class, and BMW has also launched a new BMW i7 Series car at the same time as the launch of the new generation of BMW 7 Series! Only the Audi A8 has lagged behind significantly, and there is no pure electric model of the same level so far!
The first exposure of the rendering clearly combines the characteristics of the Audi e-tron model and the Audi Grandsphere concept car, the obvious fully enclosed large-mouth grille, the slim head of the concept car, etc., as well as the head grid lighting design elements, and the body side is still a traditional look of the Audi A8 model, relatively conservative and not as radical as the concept car design!
In fact, the biggest test for Audi's new generation of A8 models may not be in the appearance part, after all, the new generation of BMW 7 Series is already like that... The interior design style of audi's new generation model is the key to the problem, and the obviously unpopular interior of the current Audi A8 model is a major reason why the current Audi A8 is at the bottom of the BBA.
With the completion of the mid-term redesign of the Audi A8 model, which indicates that the next Audi A8 will be a new and major overhaul of the new car, compared to the mid-term modification of the Audi A8 small upgrade and the launch of the Horch founder extension in the domestic market, at this time the rendering of the new generation of Audi A8 e-tron model is exposed, whether it is design, configuration or power system will be refreshing!
In terms of power system, Audi is equipped with a 120kWh large-capacity modular battery pack for the concept car Grandsphere, with a maximum cruising range of 750Km, with a front and rear dual motors, a total output of 720 horsepower, a maximum torque of about 960N .m, and at a maximum charging speed of 270kW, charging 10 minutes can last 300Km, which is quite in place at the current technical level, but after all, the mass production version will be until 2025. Three years of technological progress may be at the basic level by then...
