Convertible? Off-roader? Pick-up? Fun car? Why decide on one when you can have all four?

The Audi Al2 open end flexibly fits in with your wishes: the comfort of a two-door four-seater or the practicality of a two-seater with the rear bench folded forward. A sturdy, flat, aluminium cargo area with full-length protective strips makes it easier to transport heavy or bulky goods. 40mm more ground clearance than in the Audi Al2 gives you the freedom to drive off-road.

A power roll top that opens in full between the aluminium lateral roof frames, four frameless side windows that can be lowered completely and a rear, power-driven drop-door that disappears into the bumper. The tough washable materials inside the car won't be spoilt by a shower of rain. Whatever your plans, this car makes you freer - not just in your free time.

The Audi Al2 open end is not only compact but also ultra-light thanks to its aluminium body. The Audi Space Frame (ASF) cuts the weight of the vehicle to almost a third less than comparable steel bodies. Two pleasant side effects are greater fuel economy and dynamic performance. After all, the 1.4-l four-cylinder petrol engine only has to move 790 kilos. And that means fun driving on an inner-city highway or a country track. The Audi Space Frame also gives you greater safety with lateral roof frames, part of the ASF, for anti-roll protection, head airbags at the front and in the rear roof frame and side airbags in the front seats.

Its totally new roof construction makes a radically new form of open-top driving possible and its automotive concept promises limitless openness.
