It serves as the portal to the plant during the day and is freely accessible to all visitors. In the evening the building transforms into a versatile stage for events. Up to 1,800 fans can then cheer to a pop concert or attend readings by book authors.

Efficiency is a central theme for Audi. The company has therefore gone beyond optimizing vehicle technologies and is conducting research into the idea of intelligently controlled traffic. In the travolution project being conducted by the brand with the four rings in Ingolstadt, cars can communicate with traffic lights. This networking makes the flow of traffic smoother and thus reduces CO2 emissions. Audi is assuming a leading role in this field of technology, which is known as Car-to-X communication.
Today’s technology: communicating traffic light systems Road traffic today is still controlled largely with yesterday's technology – at the expense of the environment. When a car stops at a red light, it uses approximately 0.02 liters (0.01 US gallons) of fuel when it pulls away. This corresponds to roughly 5 grams of CO2. In urban traffic, which in Germany is regulated by roughly 60,000 traffic signal systems, the 50 million cars in Germany emit roughly 15 million tons of CO2 or approximately 20 percent of their total emissions. These emissions can be reduced if the traffic lights initiate contact with the vehicles. This is precisely what Audi is targeting with the travolution project. Launched in 2006 at AUDI AG headquarters in Ingolstadt, the project has already produced many promising results. As the project stands now, the Audi experts expect CO2 emissions at traffic lights to decrease by roughly 15 percent. This corresponds to an equivalent of approximately 900 million liters (237,754,846.12 US gallons) of gasoline per year if this new technology were to be deployed throughout Germany. Audi is collaborating with a number of partners in the travolution project, including the City of Ingolstadt, Scheidt & Bachmann GmbH, TaxiFunk Ingolstadt, ADAC (General German Automobile Association), GEVAS software GmbH, the Technical University of Munich, Ingolstadt University of Applied Sciences and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
Audi opens a new chapter in the history of quattro: The new quattro with ultra technology combines driving dynamics and safety with high efficiency, making the all-wheel drive system fit for the future. The system is designed for numerous Audi models with longitudinally mounted front engines. An initial variant will debut in the new Audi A4 allroad quattro* in mid-2016.
* The fuel consumption and emission values of all models available on the German market and named in this text are listed in the last chapter of this basic information.
Taut design, top-notch connectivity, broad-based electrification – the Audi A4 represents the brand with the four rings like no other model. That is what makes it an important reflection of the direction in which Audi is developing. Its sporty body lines and the innovative operating concept with the central MMI touch display signify a real upgrade. Five of the eight engine variants work in conjunction with mild hybrid systems (MHEV) – this broad-based electrification benefits efficiency and comfort. Both S models are now equipped with a 3.0 TDI with 255 kW (347 metric hp) and 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km*: 6.3 – 6.2; combined CO2 emissions in g/km*: 166 – 161 g/km) – this combination of performance, torque and efficiency is unique in the segment.
