Zero Emission Audi A8 Hybrid Concept 2010

Power as a big V6 fuel economy in a simple four-cylinder engine – Audi A8 show Hybrid concept as a technology concept at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Two propulsion units – 2.0 TFSI and the electric motors – to develop a total power of 180 kW (245 hp) of power systems and Nm 480 (354.03 pounds / ft) of torque. This enables the Audi A8 hybrids in 7.6 seconds to accelerate from zero to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) and reaches a top speed of 235 km / h (146.02 mph). But the average fuel consumption is only 6.2 liters (37.94 U.S. mpg) for 100 km – the equivalent of CO2 is 144 grams per km (231.75 g / mile).

Combustion engine of the Audi A8 Hybrid Concept is the 2.0 TFSI – a high-tech machinery. This four cylinder engine, which was named “Engine of the Year” five times in a row since 2005, is an example of the philosophy of downsizing Audi. This combines direct injection with a turbocharger and Audi valvelift AVS system, which regulates the valve stroke in two stages. In combination with the adjustable intake camshaft cylinder Audi valvelift system increases the charging and ensure partner spontaneous and strong accumulation. The 2.0 TFSI provide 155 kilowatts (211 hp) and 350 Nm (258.15 pounds feet), the torque remains constant 1500-4200 rpm.

In the crankcase of four-cylinder engine, which has a displacement of 1984 cc, two balancer shafts compensate the second inertial force to provide vibration-free operation and almost pleasant calm that goes with luxury properties’ Audi A8. All the components are optimized to minimize friction. Flow controlled, pressure controlled oil pumps will reduce fuel consumption.

Electric motor with sufficient power for propulsion

A wet clutch hydraulically connected TFSI engine with the 2.0 power. Control requires precision and know-how that have been made to achieve smooth, accurate and fast. Which synchronous motor, the constant-energy, serves as a generator that develops 33 kW (45 bhp) of power and 211 Nm (155.63 pounds / ft) of torque. The maximum power is available almost from the status quo and contribute to the start-up a strong sports. Because the electric motor also developed fever, his body is equipped with cooling channels. Sela between electric motor and the axle of the eight-speed Tiptronic, which is controlled entirely by electronics, is an additional reduction from the clutch. Along with electrical devices, this system serves as a torque converter. The power of the two drive systems applied to the road through the front wheels.

Lithium-ion – Battery

System of Hybrid Energy Storage Concept Audi A8 installed at the back. This state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery is more compact and weighs less than other types, but much more powerful. It is protected by high strength casing and fan ensure that the module is always operated in an ideal temperature range. However, the concept of hybrid Audi A8 also provides 400 liters of luggage space (14.13 cubic feet)

Some sub-systems that operate on the power of a conventional car engine has been modified from the beginning to be used in hybrid concept Audi A8. Compressor from the climate control system run entirely on electricity. The electromechanical steering system. Brake booster is given too much controlled by the application of an electric vacuum pump. During the restoration of power – in a word – braking action, a sophisticated control system ensures that the ABS and ESP functions operate properly.

Power electronic unit handles interaction systems. Pulse control your UPS battery set and the game of the electric motor. DC DC converter power supply to the users on the edge of the network. The power electronics unit, which is connected to the battery and electric motor with a high voltage cable, located in the engine compartment.

Harmonious interaction and integration of these components reflects the high level of specialized knowledge has been collected Audi. Architecture technology already allows a glimpse of the future production model – the Audi Q5 hybrid, which will be presented at the end of this year.

Driving experience

Audi A8 hybrid, which weighs 1885 kg (4,155.71 lb), the reader as if he has a big six-cylinder petrol engines or TDI under the hood. From zero to 100 km / h (62.14 mph) vehicle speed in 7.6 seconds, and may continue to accelerate to 235 km / h (146.02 mph). However, fuel consumption by European Union cycle only 6.2 liters per 100 km (37.94 mpg), equivalent to 144 grams CO 2 / km (231.75 g / mi). In urban traffic, the drive uses a hybrid fuel approximately 20 percent lower than conventional disks. Car performance and fuel economy benefits of the major substantial profits from the A8 model series – a lightweight aluminum body based on the principles of Audi Space Frame (ASF).

Hybrid disc designed for all-electric-powered drive 65 km / h (40.39 mph) and distance more than two miles – especially suitable for driving on the outskirts of town or settlement. When conditions allow, the driver can also select the mode with the electric switch separate e-lock on the cockpit. The second panel display screen and wide screen MMI operating system on the dashboard shows the overall flow of instantaneous power in brilliant graphics.

When Audi A8 Hybrid concept began to move, both from the machine interact closely to meet various power applications. Over 65 km / h (40.39 mph), the combustion engine alone is not the work of drivers, while the electric motor gives the user to board and battery recharging.

Where possible the driver’s gas pedal, the combustion engine so disconnected from the transmission Hybrid Audi A8 “veil”. In the braking and deceleration phases, the e-motor functions as a generator – in an efficient recovery of energy and feed into the battery.

When the driver floors the pedal, the engine management control of power while the entire system, and now the electric motor to boost power. 180 kW (245 hp) and 480 Nm (354.03 pounds-feet) to give a big sedan with a big thrust. Half ran 60-120 km / h (37,28-74,56 mph) in fifth gear, for example, be achieved in 7.5 seconds. A8 Audi Hybrid Concept Car is a very dynamic – with fuel efficiency that sets new standards. This is particularly true in the everyday activities of users. Even betray see the power of this car close to the concept of a big production of 21-inch wheels and 265/35 tires. Sportiness paradox of efficiency and not on the Audi – they go hand in hand.

Hybrid Design Audi A8

Quasi-concept-car production is 21 inches, two-color style wheel rims with three-dimensional very surface. Exterior paint Hybrid Concept Audi A8 is the “Silver” Prism “by” Spectra Flair “as an accent color – a rainbow effect which is emphasized in the reflected light in the folds and seams in the body. Is striking is” hybrid “letters on both front fenders leaves no doubt about what kind of car it was. Increase in width with the front spoiler and a horizontal chrome strip transmits a strong position of vehicles on the road.

High hood with a shiny and glass battery in the trunk lid also provides a visual link to the hybrid technology. And illuminate the door reads “hybrid” badge touch of elegance to emphasize the power every time the door is opened – using LED technology to reduce energy consumption.

Passengers are also seeing a leading hybrid logo displayed on the dashboard. The “Powermeter” also demonstrates the power flowing on the dashboard.
