Safe, strong and lightweight

The Audi Space Frame is exceptionally strong while being substantially lighter than a traditional steel chassis. Safety, performance and handling are enhanced through the careful hand-welding of magnesium and aluminium parts. The Audi Space Frame was pioneered in a design study in 1993 and also features in the Audi A8 and TT.
