Audi has plans to release a new car that will spend about one liter of fuel per hundred kilometers.New products will be built on a common platform with the urban compact Audi A1. This was told by the head of the technical department Audi Wolfgang Dyurhaymer, reports Autocar.

According Dyurhaymera, the new model will be quite "affordable" four-seater car, "equipped with all the benefits of conventional machines, including climate-control." However, the technical details of the new product so far kept secret. We only know that the two-cylinder diesel engine, used on the prototype Volkswagen XLR-1, the new Audi will not put. But the fact that the novelty will be a hybrid, almost beyond doubt.

Finally, Dyurhaymer told that the new Audi can be built on a modified steel platform from A1. "The mass of the car - not the biggest challenge for the engineers in this project," - he added. But the body of the new model will be made of new carbon fiber components fabricated on new technologies to reduce production time. Creators promise to work on the suspension and even the weight of interior parts. However, we will show a new product ready no sooner than three years, and before that time, the project will have time to grow a interesting details.
