Audi Q8, Ingolstadt
Audi’s Q8 concept exemplifies the Ingolstadt-based company’s next-generation luxury crossover. The backdrop is Audi’s new Academy building, opened as a training centre in Ingolstadt in 2015. As the brand’s traditional home, the city hosts around 40,000 workers and Audi’s largest factory (the second largest car plant in Europe), while the public face of the brand is the glass-walled Audi Forum museum. Buyers will soon be able to slip inside their very own Q8, which is due in showrooms in 2018. Sleeker than your average SUV, the model is the flag-bearer for Audi’s burgeoning electric-drive and autonomous technologies, alongside the dedicated all-electric e-tron model that the company hopes, will make it an EV class leader within a few years.
