A 100.0-kWh battery lives under the floor, feeding electric motors on the front and rear axles that produce 436 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque.

While the Activesphere still has physical controls, the concept also supports autonomous driving, with the steering wheel and pedals folding away.

The "active back" is the first split tailgate to feature on an Audi, with the rear glass sliding upwards to reveal an open bed for hauling sports gear.

The big focus on the Activesphere's interior is augmented reality, which replaces a traditional infotainment system and screens with special glasses.

A heated and cooled beverage container resides in the center console of the red and black cabin.

The classic Audi "Singleframe" grille shape is now glass, giving the driver a better view of potential obstacles when off-roading.

The augmented reality can project routes and warnings onto the road ahead, and also shows all of the relevant vehicle information.

The system also controls climate and entertainment functions, and each passenger can individualize what they see while wearing the augmented reality glasses.
