The new Audi: Audi Avantissimo
September 12, 2001
Audi Avantissimo – a New Form of Dynamism and Luxury

At the 2001 International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (the ‘IAA’), Audi is exhibiting the Avantissimo concept study. This is a vision from the company that makes the cars bearing the four-ring badge – a high-performance Avant for the luxury car class, and at the same time a means of demonstrating the many innovative technologies that Audi’s engineers have developed for future automobile generations.
The idea
Beautiful estate cars are called ‘Avant’: this well-known slogan symbolises the estate car that, in the past ten years, has shown how to rise above the demands of pure practicability and offer more. ‘Avant’ has become a synonym for progressive design, sporting character and advanced styling in this motoring category.
This in turn has led to a fundamental change in the way that such models are viewed by the market, a process that Audi began and which it has shaped ever since the outset. A glance at our roads, with so many Avants to be seen in the B and C model segments – to say nothing of their many imitators – is convincing proof of the way that a sound idea has established itself successfully.
All of this makes the new concept study much more than a mere formal experiment. It is a step forward into the D segment of the market, the ‘upper house’ of automobile design, and a logical culmination of the Avant concept. Its luxury and interior space, its forward-looking design and its concentrated high-tech specification represent a unique combination, particularly when allied to dynamic performance that itself sets a new standard even in the luxury class.
The Avantissimo is a design study with which Audi has re-interpreted the potential inherent in the Avant concept in a form suitable for the luxury car category. It is a supreme display of top performance, a new formal idiom and the technologies of tomorrow – a decisive step forward into Audi’s

Pegaso was the only Spanish car to recieve international supercar status in the fifties. At the time, the company was government-backed and had experience building large 9 litre coaches. The Z102 made its first appearance at the 1951 Paris Auto Show. After that various models gained international reputation for advanced designs. In all, around 125 Tipo Z102's were made only two of which received bodywork from Saoutchik.
