Audi Technology
All cars produced by Audi using galvanized to prevent corrosion, thus making Audi is the first automobile manufacturer to do it in bulk. This technology was actually invented by Porsche about 1975 Audi technology has been proven effective to prevent rust. Resilience of the body-this car body is extraordinary even exceed their own expectations Audi, Audi bold as to extend the warranty for corrosion from 10 years to 12 years.
Aluminum body has been used by Audi A8 since their launch in 1994 they named it Audi Space Frame technology). Previously, Audi tested 44 type chassis with aluminum as a test for this technique.
Antiquity, Audi refused to use a rear wheel drive car because it is used by the two rivals Mercedes-Benz and BMW. So, Audi also prefer to use a front wheel drive car or 4 wheel drive. Most of the luxury Audi models sold in the United States market using 4-wheel drive standard (A4 and A6 models only the bottom is still wearing front-wheel drive), in contrast to Mercedes-Benz and BMW are using 4WD as an option / option only (new BMW started offering the type of 4WD on 7 series since 2010, while Audi has used 4WD in its A8 of the 1990s.) Also for all series of high performance cars, Audi S and RS models, all have used 4 wheel drive, not together with its rivals such as the BMW M and Mercedes-AMG which only uses rear-wheel drive.
For most of the models (outside A3, A1, and TT), Audi does not use a transverse engine layout which usually is found in many cars economical, because the layout as it restricts the type and engine power which can be installed. In addition, to install a high-performance machines (such as the installation of a V8 engine in the Audi S4 and Audi RS4), Audi usually develop with longitudinal front engine models. With a machine like this, the installation of 4-wheel drive will be easier and will equalize the weight distribution of the car front: rear 50:50 so ideal.
Replace the Audi V8 in 1994, the Audi A8 debuted with an aluminum space frame using ("Audi Space Frame") which can reduce the car's weight and improve stiffness in torsion (torsion rigidity) when compared with ordinary steel frame. However, a reduction in weight of the car is sometimes replaced with a weight of 4-wheel drive system that Audi's quattro. Even so, the Audi A8 is the lightest car amongst all the 4-wheel drive car in the full-size car segment. This car is also the most economical car in its class.
The disadvantage of this is the use of aluminum frames frames requires tremendous cost if there is damage, and requires a special aluminum body repair shop.
Audi A2, Audi TT and Audi R8 also use Audi Space Frame technology.
Audi A2 was a futuristic supermini car. This car includes many new features such as the use of space frame for the first time. Audi TDI technology also fix them by using a 3-cylinder engine. Audi A2 also has aerodynamics and excellent design, has been tested in the wind tunnel. But this car is criticized because it is expensive and sales were not so successful when he compared with its competitors, Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Audi A2 finally stopped in 2005 and Audi decided not to continue this product again.
Major changes occurred in 1995 when the Audi A4 replaced the Audi 80 Naming of Audi's new this also applies to the Audi 100 whose name changed to Audi A6. In addition, the Audi S4 and Audi S6 long into the new S4 is introduced with the new body, as well as the Audi S2 ceased production (discontinued). In addition dipernalkan also A3 hatchback newfangled in 1996, as well as the Audi TT Koupe coupé and roadster in 1998.
Volkswagen introduced the Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG), a type of dual clutch transmission. This transmission is a version of "Automatic" of semi-automatic transmission, which can be run as a conventional automatic transmission. This transmission is used in the Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3 and TT.
Latest Audi models such as A3, A4, A6 and A8 is equipped with Fuel Stratified Injection engine technology (FSI). Latest technology engine is claimed to consume less fuel.
Audi plans for an alliance with the Japanese electronics company Sanyo to develop a hybrid electric car project for the Volkswagen Group. The alliance will use the battery and other electrical components from Sanyo that will be used in future cars Volkswagen Group.
Electric hybrid cars that include:
Audi A1 Sportback Concept
Audi A4 TDI Concept E
The bright LED lights (LED daytime running lights or DRL)
Starting in 2006, Audi has implemented the bright LED light technology in their products. Their unique form of light has become a trademark. This lamp was first implemented in the Audi S6, and after it was also used in other models.
Audi began developing a computerized control system called Multi Media Interface (MMI). This system is made as to criticize the iDrive control system owned by BMW. This system consists of a control knob that can rotate with buttons that can control selruh entertainment systems (in-car entertainment) in the car including satellite navigation, heating and ventilation, and other systems that result will be displayed on the screen. MMI is reported to have given a lot of improvement on BMW's iDrive system that, despite BMW themselves claim they have perfected their iDrive system.
MMI received a good response, and its use is not too complicated because it controls all the buttons through the knob. For some important buttons such as radio or telephone, direct MMI provides direct access keys. The screen is located in the center of the dashboard.
