AUDI : RoadJet Concept

RoadJet Concept
A u d i


The Audi Roadjet Concept is the first model to feature the sporty Direct Shift Gearbox in conjunction with a longitudinally installed engine and quattro permanent four-wheel drive. Closely related to the DSG used to such dazzling effect in the A3 and TT, it combines the advantages of a manual gearbox with the qualities of a modern automatic transmission, resulting in a drive concept that is superior in every respect.

The dynamic suspension layout with four-link front suspension and self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension delivers the accustomed standard of driveability and ride comfort. Variable shock absorbers and the new Audi dynamic steering rack-and-pinion steering concept with variable ratio are used for the first time.

This technology opens up new horizons: it enables data on the traffic flow to be processed, promoting a prudent driving style that avoids congestion or even helps to prevent accidents. And linking up with stationary networks will already become a reality in a few years' time, for example enabling drivers not only to identify where there is a free parking space before they reach their destination, but also to reserve it.
