    Audi Electric Activesphere

      Audi activesphere, the future of rugged autocross or just another rugged looking luxury electric auto?

    2023 promises to be an exciting year at the global auto companies are lining up many new EV releases.

    Audi since August 2021 has been introducing concept autos to the sphere family. The activesphere concept will be the fourth model in this sphere family of premium mobility.

    Audi activesphere concept is focused on the active lifestyle person allowing them maximum variability for both on and off pavement. Full details about the activesphere will be given at the reveal at the begining of 2023.

    Audi showed off the sphere family during the Monterey Car Week in California on August 18th to 21st, 2022, showing the first three concepts, Audi Skyphere, Audi grandsphere and Audi urbansphere.

    Audi urbansphere - Space travel in the heart of the megacity | Audi MediaCenter (audi-mediacenter.com)

    Electric Drive system 295 kW or 396 HP with 690 Nm or 507 lb ft of torque in AWD with a 750 km (466 miles) battery pack, designed for ultimate comfort in urban dense cities. More details at the link above.

    In four door configurations, Audi seems to have embraced the suicide door style for their EV products.

    Full details on the all-electric Sphere family can be found on Audi Global Media Site. Audi.com – the international Audi website | audi.com Audi Concept Cars | progress.audi

    One consistency that is seen here in the Audi Sphere family is the fast back rear that we have seen on the Cadillac family of EVs.

    All of those concepts are ugly and what is with the flying buttress C-pillar on the Audi and the Cadillacs, looks chunky and heavy.

    As far as the active sphere goes, Audi definitely needs more crossover copes for active lifestyle people, I suggest they do a QC1, QC2, QC3, QC4, QC5, QC6, QC7, QC8, and QC9 so they can have 9 Q-coupe versions of their current Q suv's.  This way they can have 18 SUVs each 3 inches and $3,000 different in price.

    Yet they have style and stand out compared to the Jelly Bean Blah ugly nature of Mercedes EQ series. I have low expectations for the EQE when they show it off in a few months. Another Jelly Bean Ugly SUV

      I know a Greek guy in New York and he was just telling me that he used to take Olympic Airways to and from Greece.  He said that it was Aristotle Onassis's airline ... I didn't know that.  He told me they had a 747 named Olympus and another one named Zeus.   Olympic never put out much of a reach to North America ... just NY and Toronto, I believe.  They bankrupted sometime post-9/11.  Now, Greece only has much smaller Aegean, but they stick mostly to Europe, the Middle East, etc. Here's one of their 747s approaching Athens Airport next to the sea at Ellinikon. In looking up this airline and jet, they had a write-up on Olympic Airways Flight 411 which was using the 747 Zeus in 1978, so this was a fairly new unit. Fairly shocking for a veteran crew - 418 people on board - close call ...

      I watch a ton of shows and follow quite a few YouTubers, but it's because I have about 80 minutes a day on a bus to and from work.

      Most TV shows and sitcoms that take place in the same 1 to 3 rooms test my patience.  Maybe that's why I might watch documentaries and police shows, and very rarely at that, or watch movies I've read about in advance and want to see.

      I honestly have tried a couple times and Seinfeld is just not funny nor interesting to me, I feel like I deserve a refund for my time wasted on that show.  That also is why I tend to not watch much TV unless I stream a movie as I would rather be out living life than sitting in front of the tube being programmed at.

      Several of my friends have asked me, "What, you never saw that Seinfeld episode?!?" I'm seeing it for the first time.  It's funny. I thought "Seinfeld" was boring ... too slow. The only episode I've watched was the "Assman" episode.  Kramer, in my mind, was the only funny character on the show.
