Improved aerodynamic resistance reduces consumption and increases range. In this way and fully in the spirit of Vorsprung durch Technik, the wind tunnel had a decisive influence on the design of the Audi e-tron GT concept¹. This can be seen in the design of the bonnet, which reduces unwanted turbulence. Even the design of the 22-Centimeters wheels with five twin spokes allows for optimum ventilation of the brake discs and reduces air resistance. Meanwhile at the rear, a large diffuser minimises bounce. Playing a decisive role in saving weight is the chassis, which follows a multimaterial lightweight design incorporating aluminium and steel as well as a carbon roof.
The drive forces between the axles and between the left and right wheels are electronically controlled. This allows for optimum traction. The flat design of the battery, which occupies the entire underbody area between the front and rear axles, provides an extremely low centre of gravity. Especially in combination with the all-wheel drive, this means the driver can experience superb dynamics and agile handling coupled with high directional stability.
