Since its inception, Audi has cultivated a legacy of automotive design prowess, pushing boundaries with visionary and distinctive concepts that have frequently blurred the lines between science fiction and production reality. While many of these ground-breaking creations have remained confined to the realm of concept cars, never gracing public roads in their original form, they remain indispensable tools for Audi’s strategic future planning. To honor these imaginative and inspirational endeavors, Audi’s Museum Mobile is currently exhibiting eleven concept cars and design studies under the title “Design Legends.”
Exhibit Highlights:
Aztec from 1988
Audi quattro Spyder from 1991
Audi Avus quattro from 1991
Audi TT show car from 1995
Audi A8 Coupé concept car from 1997
Audi Steppenwolf from 2000
Audi Nuvolari quattro from 2003
Audi Shooting Brake concept from 2005
Audi e-tron Spyder from 2010
Audi quattro concept from 2010
Audi PB 18 e-tron from 2018
This marks twenty years since Audi’s Museum Mobile dedicated an exhibition to design studies. In response to repeated visitor requests, this theme has been revisited with a compelling selection of iconic and lesser-known works. Concept cars such as the legendary Audi quattro Spyder and Audi Avus quattro have returned to the museum, accompanied by newer studies including the Audi e-tron Spyder and the Aztec. In addition to the vehicles themselves, the exhibition features select items from Audi’s model workshop, providing comprehensive insight into the creative process behind these designs. Sketches, renderings, and clay models offer a rare glimpse inside Audi’s creative studios—a showcase of designers’ visions, methodologies, and the journey from initial concept to final form,” as explained by curator Stefan Felber. Until July 12th, visitors have the exclusive opportunity to witness this automotive timeline of distinctive Audi eras at the museum’s Ingolstadt headquarters. For those unable to travel to the Audi Forum Ingolstadt, the Audi Tradition App extends this museum experience directly to smartphone screens, offering deep dives into historic models through text, audio guides, 360-degree views, and even engine sounds.\n\n”
