2022 Audi Grandsphere Concept - Super Luxurious Vision future https://youtu.be/cbY3nemeUhc
Audi Grandsphere concept is a super-luxurious vision of the future
It's a roadgoing lounge… it's a movie theater… it's a Level 4 autonomous car! Yes, the new Audi Grandsphere concept is many things, yet it still comes across as more than the sum of its parts. This rakish sedan is the second of three design studies in Audi's "sphere" concept series and it just made its world debut on Thursday ahead of the Munich Auto Show in Germany.
Unlike many design studies, this one is clean and uncluttered. Up front, the Grandsphere's single-frame grille is simple and, in some ways, prettier and better integrated into the front end than what you get on production Audis today.
The Grandsphere is just a concept, but this all-electric flagship-caliber sedan seems like something that could pretty easily go into production, certainly more so than the Audi Skysphere. The car's design looks real, it offers a suitably upscale passenger experience and that battery-powered drivetrain is totally feasible. Really, the only aspects of this vehicle that don't seem ready for primetime are the unusual doors and the Level 4 autonomous capability, which, to be honest, is a feature that's probably still many years away.
As for the battery, it measures a claimed 120 kilowatt-hours and is mounted exactly where you'd expect: below the floor and between the axles. On the generous WLTP testing cycle, this pack should provide around 466 miles of driving range, though an EPA figure would likely be appreciably lower.
When it's time to juice up the Grandsphere, its 800-volt charging system can handle 270 kW of power for lickety-split battery replenishment. Hooked to an appropriate source, this concept car can go from a 5% state of charge to 80% in less than 25 minutes, an impressive time to be certain. Hell, it takes twice as long to get a scrambled egg and some toast at Bob Evans.
