Audi’s New Green Plan: The A1 Hybrid

When it comes to cars, green is definitely the only way to go! We’re not talking about some dirty stuff, mind you. We’re talking about the elimination of oil as a vehicle’s power source and the use of alternative fuel as its replacement. With the likes of Toyota spearheading this technology, it looks like our planet has found a new hope against the forces of pollution.


Of course, Audi won’t get left behind in this fight. That’s the reason why Audi took some time and effort to come up with an environment-friendly car without taking away the adrenaline rush in our everyday driving experience. We present to you the A1 hybrid concept:



This bundle of amazement Audi has invented is confirmed to run purely on electricity. It’s got a lithium-ion battery that can send you running to 62 MPH in just 7.9 seconds. If you ask us, that’s way better than most gas-guzzling machines we have right now. And the mouth-watering thing about the A1 hybrid is it can travel 60 miles before its charge runs out. Imagine all the places you could just go to with this baby. And add the fact that you won’t have to spend tons and tons of hard-earned money for gas anymore.

Sounds enticing, doesn’t it?

Of course, that’s not everything to the Audi A1 hybrid concept. You’ll also be glad to find an adjustable drivetrain/ driveshaft/ shock absorber system that’s going to allow you to choose between two modes: sport mode (or kick-the-dust-on-other-driver’s-faces mode, as we’d like to call it.) and efficiency mode (or sometimes called the-best-way-to-save-gas-money mode). With just a push of a button, you can outrace other wannabe racers on the road without breaking a sweat or get the bang for your buck as you drive to your office like you do everyday. Plus, there’s also a feature that allows to use your mobile phones and make them act as a control unit for WLAN access. What is this WLAN access for? Well kids, they’re for controlling the A1’s navigation, audio and remote monitoring of the security systems. Cool huh?

The only sad thing is there’s still no confirmation from Audi on when the A1 hybrid concept vehicle is going to be released. We guess it’s going to take some time before our garages would have this baby onboard.
