We already know that the Audi Idea C previews the model’s future styling shift, so right here’s the way it may work on different forms of automobiles.
The Audi TT may be gone, nevertheless it definitely isn’t forgotten, not terribly stunning for what represented a styling masterclass when it initially debuted. The TT clearly hasn’t been forgotten inside the halls of the brand that made it both, as we clearly noticed with the debut of the brand new Audi Idea C just lately. Slightly, the small, two seat, all-electric sports activities automotive clearly pays homage that that mannequin, and maybe extra importantly, alerts the arrival of a brand new design language.
Whereas it’s unclear how a lot of this new design language will ultimately make it to manufacturing automobiles, it’s clear that the Audi Idea C is the start of what may be a notable pivot for the model within the coming years. Thus, a designer by the identify of Luca Serafini just lately opted to use the identical kind of type current on the idea to create a full lineup of automobiles, and it’s fairly an fascinating train, certainly.
Finally, Serafini got here up with 5 completely different automobiles, all utilizing the identical forms of styling ideas current the Audi Idea C. Nonetheless, it is a fairly numerous vary of automobiles – we’ve got a sleek-looking boat with an enclosed house, a semi-truck, a high-riding, off-road-focused fastback-like coupe, a motorbike, and a conventional full-size SUV, which seems fairly wonderful and a bit retro futuristics, in our humble opinion.
Every of those theoretical automobiles options the identical kinds of styling parts current on the Audi Idea C, if we take a little bit of a deeper dive. This consists of the vertical body that serves as a central ingredient of the fascia, to not point out the “radical simplicity” that Audi was centered on when creating its sporty two-seater – and what it calls the “core” of its new design language. The identical goes for the four-element gentle signature current on all of those ideas.
Along with the TT, Audi additionally took inspiration from the 1936 Auto Union Kind C (1936) and the third-generation Audi A6 when designing the Idea C, presenting us with extra of an upright look with a vertical body up entrance. Audi sees this as a progressive interpretation of its personal legacy, paying homage to the previous whereas additionally giving it a clean-sheet makeover that’s fairly futuristic as nicely.
Whereas we all know that the Audi Idea C will spawn a brand new route when it comes to future design for the Germany firm, it’s unclear if the idea itself might preview the return of the TT – or one thing prefer it. Regardless, these renderings could present us with some extra clues as to what the long run has in retailer, on the whole.
