The Process of Building the Audi e-Tron Spyder

The concept of Audi E-Tron Spyder was first introduced at the Paris Motor Show 2010 and without any exaggeration most of the people fell in love by the car’s simplistic yet entirely appealing design. Certainly it was exuding with impressiveness.

For most of the people, finished product is not as interesting as the process that it took to get to the final point. Certainly, it is interesting to learn how an E-Tron Spyder was built.

Like an E-Tron Spyder, Audi has also released a story behind the conception and making of this concept vehicle. They explained the entire process that is involved in building a car that no one knows of.

What Audi revealed about the conception and developing of this concept car is really an interesting matter. Audi held a contest to determine who was going to get a chance to design the upcoming concept car. Almost 17 people took part in two weeks designing contest which were divided into four groups or teams. Finally, Audi chose two designers and they were assigned a task to build a full scale model of their creation with the help of brown industrial plasticine. They had to stretch and built it over and around a steel frame with wood and rigid foam.

The design was finally accepted by the Audi’s Board of Management and they began working on it. The car was then made from a heavy dose of carbon fiber. A block of rigid foam was used by Audi’s employees to build each body part of the car before covering it with sheets of carbon fiber. In the end, the structure was harden up, cleaning, sanding and priming was done.

Certainly, it’s a brief summary about the process of development and building of the Audi E-Tron Spyder Concept and this cannot be best explained by any other person than the team at Audi.
