Audi
O concept fuses transportation with audio equipment
The Audi O concept was designed by Ondrej Jirec, a design student
from the Czech Republic, and graduate of the Art Center College of
Design, Pasadena, California.
The Audi O concept was designed to fuse a powerful and
innovative audio system with a stylish and sporty four-seat
hatchback. The exterior design uses several Audi trademark
styling themes, especially at the front where the square
grille sits neatly between the LED headlights. The doors
feature glass windows running along the bottom edge which
provide an interesting shape to the profile of the car.
At the rear of the car the pullout door echoes the design
of the squared off Audi grille.
The styling of the Audi O was influenced by a variety
of sources including the Audi
Shooting Brake concept from 2005, the Apple iPod and
music.
The interior of the Audi O concept is bright and airy
thanks to a full length panoramic roof which floods the
cabin with light. Inside, the passenger compartment has
been separated from the engine compartment by a double
firewall to help keep out external noise which might interfere
with the powerful sound system.
The Audi O concept features a unique audio system which
has internet connectivity for downloading music onto the
built-in 650 GB hard drive. When parked up a Bluetooth
system can connect two or more Audi O cars to play audio
over a wider area. In this situation, a host Audi O is
set to be the source of sound and the other vehicles act
as speakers.
The Audi O also features a pullout rear door fitted with
a DJ set with mixing decks. The decks can also be removed
and used anywhere outside the car.
Powering the Audi O concept is fuel efficient diesel/electric
hybrid drivetrain.
