The Audi Nero (Latin for black) concept is an evolution of the streamlined record-breaking racers Auto Union developed in the 1930’s. An image of motion: clean, sleek, and powerful. The aerodynamic surfaces, covered wheels, and low ground clearance create a stealthy modern interpretation of its inspirational ancestors. The sinister carbon black color was chosen to reflect the mood of L.A. at night. Its strong silhouette is punctuated with compelling technical details. The aggressive front end is followed by a translucent hood that showcases an engine which is a work of art in its own right. This super coupe is an expression of pure power, speed, and style that is sure to turn any night on the town into an adventure.
