Audi AI:CON Concept Car

Announced to collective “ooohs” and “aaahs” at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Audi Aicon joins the Audi AI:ME, Audi AI:RACE and Audi AI:TRAIL electric concept cars from the company that made ‘vorsprung durch Technik’ a thing. It’s rumoured to go into production in 2021 as a pilot project, but in all honesty, you’re more likely to win one of Wonka’s golden tickets than getting your hands on one of these babies. Production numbers are set to be extremely limited, so why not consider something from Audi’s pre-existing all-electric line-up, like the Audi e-Tron GT or the Audi e-Tron Sportback 55. If you wanna chat just drop us a note or call us on 020 8012 8190.

Design

The AI:CON design

While Audi are no stranger to electric cars – the Audi Q4 e-Tron is a favourite of ours – the Audi AI:CON concept car is pushing the boundaries of Artificial Intelligence. Fully autonomous driving is the name of the game, incorporating the Level 5 autonomous driving technology that Audi has been not-so-secretly working on. Oh, and they reckon it will have a range of 435-498 miles and will be just a tad bigger than the combustion Audi A8.

Interiors

Slightly scary exteriors

If it looks a little familiar, that’s because the AI:CON’s front features the same inverted hexagonal Singleframe (eh?) as the Audi e-tron Sportback. And because headlights aren’t ‘future’ enough, the AI:CON will instead have fully digital display surfaces made up of hundreds of triangular pixel segments. Pixel segments that are actually 3D Audi AI symbols. And in true concept car x Artificial Intelligence, the headlights will make ‘eye contact’ with pedestrians or other cars and follow them with its digital ‘eyes’. They can even project warnings onto the road. Smart.

Exteriors

Lounge-like interiors

Audi are wanting the Aicon to become more of a third living space between home and work, rather than just an EV to get you from A to B. They are pushing the boundaries of what an electric car should be, taking out the traditional cockpit, steering wheel and pedals to create, ultimately, a lounge on wheels. More important to the Audi Aicon will be the most state-of-the-art, futuristic digital infotainment and communications system, and we can’t bloody wait.

Next Steps

Concept cars are cool, but what now?

As much as we love these crazy little buggers, you can’t drive any of them (for now, at least). Allow them to whet your appetite and then allow us to calculate bespoke savings on a personal or business lease.

Save money
Calculate your savings
If you’re a business, we can help calculate how much you and your employees can save; whether that’s taking advantage of a company car lease with 0% BIK, or the massive savings on leasing via salary sacrifice. And if you’re not a business, we can sort you out with a great personal lease too. Call us on 020 8012 8190 to get started, or send us a note below.
Choose a lease
Configure your lease quote
Let’s get straight to the numbers. Check out all the EVs you can (actually) lease right now, fall in love with a couple, then let us know which ones you’re interested in. We can calculate your bespoke savings on a business or personal lease, and overall EV ownership too. Send us a brief note with what you’re looking at, and we’ll get started.
Shoot us a note
Tell us what you need
We don’t care if you send us a list of bullet-points, a haiku or even an idea you scribbled on the back of your hand. All we care about is that you tell us what you need or what you want to know. All we lease are EVs, so we really know our stuff. Ask us any question and we’ll figure out which lease and EV is right for you.
