Audi unveils the Prologue Concept at LA Auto Show

Pure performance is not the only thing that the Prologue Concept excels at, and Audi claims that the engine will return 11.6kmpl with carbon dioxide emissions of 199g/km. Audi has also equipped the Prologue Concept with a dynamic all-wheel steering system and a five-link suspension on both ends of the car.

Speaking about Mr Lichte’s involvement in the project, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Board Member for Development said, “When he moved to Audi, Marc Lichte launched a design offensive. His clear philosophy and precise understanding of Audi DNA let him develop a design strategy that is opening up entirely new perspectives for us. It is progressive and highly emotional; it expresses the technological competence and quality claim of the brand perfectly. The Audi prologue is its first proponent – it is a ‘signature car’ for Audi.”

While the Ingolstadt-based manufacturer has refused to confirm it, reports suggest that the Prologue Concept will eventually materialise as the new Audi A9, a rival to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. And while the massive proportions might make it a sight to behold, we are sure that Audi will have to tone down a lot of things to make the car production-worthy.
