In September 2000, the Audi design study named after
the legendary racing driver Bernd Rosemeyer was
one of the chief attractions at the Audi pavilion
in Wolfsburg. This super sports car with its purist
design is distinguished by powerful forms, a 16-cylinder
mid-engine and technical innovations, such as cockpit
monitors instead of rear-view mirrors. The study
further underlines the technical potential of Audi
engineers and provides a glance at the past and
into the future of car manufacture. |

Rosemeyer Highlights |
|
|
|
|
|
Flowing lines can be found from
the monumental radiator grille to the stretched,
gently sloping engine cover with its vertical air
intake slits. |

|
Clear-glass lenses conceal high-intensity xenon headlights protected by metal covers. The headlights pop up into action when needed. |
|
|
In place of rear-view mirrors, the study has a number of cameras that project the vehicle’s surroundings on to monitors in the cockpit. |
|
|
The cockpit resembles that of a racing car. The fire-resistant cabin with leather-upholstered bucket seats and a wide panoramic windscreen echoes the purist interior architecture of the Audi TT. |
|
|
A window in the cockpit reveals the heart of the Rosemeyer – the mid-engine. As in the early years of motor racing, drivers with a passion would find a powerful 16-cylinder unit there. |
