Audi Grand Sphere concept teased ahead of unveil

The new Audi Grand Sphere is said to be underpinned by the PPE platform from the Volkswagen Group.

Audi has released the first set of teaser images of the 'Grand Sphere'. The concept car is said to be one of three models under Audi's 'Sphere' show cars. It previews the brand's new design language for its future EVs.

The first of the 'Sphere' models is the Grand Sphere. It is said to preview the successor of the brand's A8 saloon. While the concept version is expected to be unveiled at the 2021 Munich Auto Show, the final production version is scheduled to arrive in 2025. Once introduced, it will become the brand's new flagship luxury sedan.

The design of the Audi Grand Sphere is said to showcase a shift in the brand's design. The new design language is said to concentrate on improving the interior cabin space by reducing overhangs - made possible by the position of the electric powertrain.

Audi states that the cabin of the Grand Sphere will complement the buyer's living space at home, offering a lounge-like design. The cabin is said to come with lounge seats with a central 'refreshment area', replacing the infotainment system seen on current models.

The new Audi Grand Sphere is said to be underpinned by the PPE platform from the Volkswagen Group. This new platform will also underpin other models such as the next-gen Porsche Macan electric SUV and the Audi Q6 e-tron.
