Progressive and emotional design language with clean lines and surfaces: automotive design by Audi has always been guided by a clear aesthetic vision – so much so that design has become a core element of Audi’s identity. But what later appears effortless and cohesive doesn’t simply flow from the designer’s pen. Instead, it is the result of a complex creative process. Over the decades, Audi Design has created a multitude of iconic production vehicles and – with apparent ease – developed numerous concepts and studies that have achieved legendary status among brand enthusiasts. The Audi museum mobile’s new special exhibition, “Design Legends,” showcases a selection of spectacular concept vehicles and design studies from the past five decades. Visitors can explore the exhibition from March 28 to July 12. All the exhibits are also integrated into the Audi Tradition app, offering additional content and insights.
