Audi Cars Shedding Pounds For A Healthier Future

Is Audi trying to be the next biggest loser? It's no secret that losing weight is

better for your health, and apparently Audi has committed to incorporate this new trend companywide. But it it's not Audi employees who will be battling the scale, it's the new Audi cars. Evidently healthy weight loss isn't just for people anymore.

Audi plans to begin engineering new models that are more lightweight and consequently more eco-friendly than their past counterparts. By shedding pounds, the new models conserve resources, produce less waste, and are capable of more efficient fuel mileage to work towards a greener, healthier future for both the brand and its consumers.

Audi Q7 and Audi A6 Slated for a Lightweight Redesign

Among the Audi car models that will be significantly trimmed down is the Audi Q7. With many other SUV models getting consistently larger and heavier, Audi aims to cut the Audi Q7 by as much as 770 pounds, totaling an impressive 15% of its current weight.

The Audi A6 is another popular model that is consistently shedding pounds. The 2011 Audi A6 weighed up to 175 pounds less than past models thanks to an aluminum hybrid body design containing over 20 percent aluminum. Even after this impressive update, the 2012 Audi A6 will be even more lightweight than the 2011. Other popular models that will be losing weight include the Audi A4, Audi Q5, and Audi TT.

With a rich history of pioneering lightweight design, Audi is confident in their ability to keep their commitment. Audi lightweight engineering starts with the body, but incorporates all parts of vehicle design and manufacturing. Since 1994, Audi has been using lightweight aluminum alloy body parts and frames, that are able to provide the necessary strength and reliability, but at a more eco-friendly weight. Audi also relies on more compact engines, exhaust systems, and fuel tanks.

Benefits of Lightweight Vehicles

There are many positive aspects of lightweight vehicles that drivers will appreciate. Obviously, a lighter car is capable of better gas mileage. However, in addition to improved fuel economy, lightweight cars are also capable of better performance. With less mass to move, lighter cars can achieve a faster acceleration and shorter stopping distances more easily.
