The Audi Avantissimo Concept Introduction
At the 2001 International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany (the ‘IAA’), Audi introduced the Avantissimo concept study. This is a vision of Audi – a high-performance Avant for the luxury car class.

| A lightweight aluminium body, based on a systematic development of the Audi Space Frame (ASF), makes another contribution to the Avantissimo's exceptional dynamics. As a pioneer of aluminium passenger-car construction, Audi has succeeded in optimising the combination of low weight and maximum torsional rigidity even further. This benefits the car in two ways: ASF means an optimum power-to-weight ratio and therefore brilliant acceleration. |

Before the show started, Mr. Paefgen passed a small talk excercise with Dr. Piech and his spouse.
