At the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2011, Audi announced a new entirely electric A2 expected to enter production, exhibiting a concept car. The superstructure made largely from aluminium, additional parts in Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymer, and other construction techniques restrain the weight to only 1,150kg. A lithium-ion battery placed between the floor holds 24 kWh of usable charge. An electric motor is transversely mounted at the front of the vehicle, the electric motor delivers through the front wheels and uses a single-speed transmission. The vehicle will also incorporate Shift-by-wire, Brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire contactless technology, and LED matrix technology for the headlights and tail lights.
