Audi lieferte den coolen Sportwagen mit dem Will Smith in I Robot die bösen Roboter jagt.
Das Auto entstand unter irrem Zeitdruck und die Entstehungsgeschichte ist ziemlich spannend.
It is 2035 in Chicago, and cars no longer travel on wheels but on spheres. “Integrating these spheres into the car’s design was one of the greatest challenges we had to solve”, says Julian Hönig, responsible for the RSQ’s exterior design. The result was a two-seat, mid-engined sports car with sphere-shaped wheels running in similarly shaped wheel arches. Hönig said. “This even enhanced the car’s sculptured character.”
“In this project we enjoyed the greatest possible freedom with regard to technical feasibility, ergonomics and customer requirements – factors that otherwise have high priority. First of all we had to familiarize ourselves with the special vehicle specifications required by the story and the movie’s environment. The main aim was to create a car that both plausibly fit into the futuristic scenery of the film, but still represented an unmistakable, visionary statement from Audi”, says Julian Hönig. Altogether, four Audi designers and as many as ten model engineers from an external Audi partner were involved in the project.
und das Auto das dabei rauskam sieht superfein aus.
und Julian surft auch sehr gut. Julian, you rock!
