Audi A2 Concept.

Along with the miniscule Urban Concepts, Audi is unwrapping the electric-powered A2 concept -- which previews a forthcoming subcompact model -- at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Like the original A2, which debuted in 2000, the new concept is diminutive in size. In fact, the concept is within half an inch of the original in all dimensions, and at 149.6 inches long, it’s almost a half-foot shorter than the new A1. Like the original, the A2 concept utilizes an aluminum space frame -- something that lent the first A2 a trim curb weight and a big price tag. The new concept wears a combination of aluminum panels and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) to help keep weight down.
Powering the A2 concept is a transversely-mounted electric motor good for 116 hp and 199 lb-ft of torque sent through a single-speed transmission to the front wheels. Juice comes from a lithium-ion battery pack that stores a total of 31 kWh of energy, though only 24 kWh is available to move the vehicle. Audi claims a top speed of 93 mph and a 0 to 62 mph time of 9.3 seconds, thanks to the A2’s lightweight design and powerful electric motor. From McPherson struts and a rear torsion beam axle underpin the A2.
According to Audi, the setup should give the A2 a range of approximately 124 miles; with a full recharge taking a scant 1.5 hours on a 400-volt, three-phase charger or four hours on a standard 230-volt European outlet. Audi has also incorporated a contactless charging method for the A2 concept, so no plug is needed.
