“Audi Vorsprung Award” - best lightweight concept

There are no compromises when it comes to the finest sports car engineering. Technical precision and performance must be pushed to the limits – and beyond. Audi pioneered the use of aluminum in manufacturing car bodies. With fuel prices constantly rising, the topic of weight reduction is more important than ever. Therefore, AUDI AG is sponsoring the “Audi Vorsprung Award” for the best lightweight concept at the Formula Student Germany 2015.
