Audi A9 Concept Car Repairs Itself And Changes Colour

Spanish designer, Daniel Garcia, imagined a four-door sports coupe for
the Audi lineup. Garcia designed the Audi A9 Concept as a possible
replacement for Audi’s current flagship model, the A8. The A9 Concept
was designed using Audi’s current design styles and is a luxury sports
sedan aimed to compete with the likes of the Porsche Panamera, Aston
Martin Rapide and the Lamborghini Estoque. The designer says that he
drew inspiration for the design from Santiago Calatrava’s architectural
design displayed in his buildings in ”La Ciudad de las Artes y de las
Ciencias” (The City of Arts and Sciences) which is located in Garcia’s
hometown of Valencia.
The most amazing feature of the car is the single-piece windscreen/roof
which is to be designed using a currently undiscovered nanotechnology
material. This material will allow the car to repair any damage
automatically as well as change color and opacity, changing visibility
in both directions. The nano-material sounds very sci-fi and the cars
exterior matches that theme. Moreover, the car boasts an unique
‘electronic painting’ system that allows the owner to change the vehicle
exterior colour with the touch of a button. The powerhouse beneath this
moving work of art will be an advanced hybrid system consisting of an
internal combustion engine paired with four electric motors in the
wheels. Pictures of the concept can be seen below.
