Designed, engineered and built in just ten weeks, the Audi RSQ is a concept vehicle specially commissioned for the futuristic Hollywood movie I, Robot. Conceived to be a stylish sports coupe from the year 2035, the Audi RSQ is bestowed with an amazingly forward design with some of Audi's trademark cues. The Audi RSQ was used in the film by the movie's star Will Smith, in his role as the police officer Detective Spooner.
Definitely one of the most interesting concept cars of the last few years, the visionary 2-door, 2-seater highlights fluid, curving lines fitting of its futuristic bent.
The Audi RSQ carries a sculpted look with circular design angles and colors often employed in science-fiction sets. Set under proper lighting, the Audi RSQ successfully evokes dramatic and sweeping effects. The vehicle combines ideas from Audi's design team along with the original vision from the movie's director Alex Proyas.
An important design consideration was to keep the vehicle as a recognizable Audi, achieved with the unmistakable Audi four-rings logo on a single-frame radiator grill in the nose. A light-powered Audi logo is also prominently latched at the rear panel with the RSQ label appearing on the doors.
Features
The most unique feature of the RSQ is its sphere-shaped wheels, a major design issue during the vehicle's relatively short development. Once installed, however, the wheels allowed great agility and mobility, being able to turn the vehicle in unusual ways. The wheels are installed in equally spherical closed arches.
The Audi RSQ houses a mid-mounted 5.0 liter twin-turbo V-10 engine capable of generating 610 bhp with a 750 Nm maximum torque. Estimated acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is around 4 seconds. The Audi RSQ features an all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission.
The body is a laminate glass fiber build with a lunar silver paint job. When exposed to intensive light, the blue shimmer of the coating illuminates to hint of a golden shine. The Audi RSQ has gullwing doors that open towards the rear butterfly-style and a large sweeping windscreen that extends to either sides of the roof and the back, offering a real panoramic view.
The interior of the Audi RSQ has been designed to copy aesthetics from jet aircraft, with ample room, maximum front visibility, and a central console surrounding both the specially-fitted driver and passenger bucket seats. The Audi RSQ looks and feels like a cockpit atmosphere, from the colors used down to the available controls and accents.
The cabin of the RSQ has been custom-designed to lend credible time-forward features including a steering wheel that folds out as the driver enters and Audi's Multi Media Interface technology for both reading relevant performance statistics and controlling appropriate vehicle functions. This information is fed and shown in a digital display in the instrument cluster.
Entertainment and other auxiliary features have been removed from the vehicle's design, equipping the Audi RSQ only with important driving-related controls.
