Why an Audi drives like an Audi: the Audi DNA in the driving characteristics
People who drive Audis usually feel it immediately: That’s an Audi! The driving experience is unmistakable; driving dynamics and driving comfort are balanced. The interplay between various components like the suspension, steering, drive system, and braking and control systems is crucial for that. The company with the four rings defines the DNA of the driving characteristics that can be felt and experienced in any Audi right in the concept phase – and it implements them in the basic setup and the subsequent fine tuning. Additionally, Audi developers are served by fundamental traits that can be used to characterize and assess driving behavior: balanced, solid, controlled, networked, precise, and effortless. The outcome is the driving experience that is typical of an Audi.

Developer Raphael Kis bestows rare insights into the closed off testing grounds and the workflow in the far north.
The light offerings for the Audi e-tron GT
The lights on an Audi have long provided more than just safety. They represent the interface between design and technology and they have an authoritative impact on every Audi model’s visual appearance. That is particularly distinct in the exterior design of the e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT – headlights and taillights are defining elements of these models.
