Audi Middle East has collaborated with the Museum of the Future to present its fourth concept model, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo, which is seen for the first time in the region at the museum’s ‘Tomorrow, Today’ exhibition.
Carsten Bender, managing director of Audi Middle East, said: “With the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo, we are presenting how we imagine the future of motorsport. With its three electric motors, distributed equally between the front and the rear axles, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds, providing unrivaled electric performance. As such, we are delighted to bring this concept car to the exhibition and showcase our brand’s forward-thinking technology.”
Originally developed exclusively for virtual races on PlayStation 4, Audi has made the car a reality, taking elements from the brand’s rich racing heritage. Inspired by the legendary Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO, which thrilled motorsport fans in the late 80s, the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo boasts two electric motors on the rear axle and a third one on the front, giving an incredible output of 600 kW (815 hp).
The Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo marks the fourth of many concepts set to be revealed at the museum. Earlier this year, the brand revealed its first show car, the Audi AI:ME, a concept vehicle with a vision of automated driving for megacities of tomorrow, as well as the skysphere concept, a car set to redefine luxury of the future, changing what we know about mobility. A third car, the Audi A6 Avant e-tron Concept, was also on display at the museum, serving as an icon of innovation.
As a permanent exhibition to showcase and review different aspects of tomorrow, the Museum of the Future represents the most important new technologies. It gives a platform to study the future, design its ideas and create deep discussions about its trends across all scientific, economic, environmental, and social sectors.
The Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo is being hosted at the Museum of the Future until February 2023, at the Audi ‘Today, Tomorrow’ exhibition on the second floor.
