775hp Chinese AUDI BEV Without Four Rings - AUDI E concept Static Review

[@Scarbir]

Thank you so much for point out the problematic width of this car. This trend needs to stop. :X

[@ManuelsManualTransmission]

Been following this channel for a while. Really great presentation and I like the shorter format. Still, would love to see some long-form content from the channel! Maybe some deeper dives into individual Chinese automakers or factories?

[@stickynorth]

I get it! It's a toe in the water of a possible future VW direction. Nimble, quick, able to design and build at Chinese speed rather than traditional German speed. If it's successful I suspect we'll see this as one of many many future VW-China JV's to get cars to market faster and cheaper than before since the old way of doing things clearly isn't working for them anymore... And not just for audi but VW, just as the Scout-Rivian deal will hopefully benefit both parties too!

[@antonioburke458]

this car is honestly very very beautiful

[@canismajoris3910]

Should have expanded on why Audi no longer have the 4 rings? Many viewers would not understand, including me.

[@TcGroenestege]

"Audi hopes that working with a local manufacturer will allow it to take advantage of the latter’s better knowledge of what the Chinese customer wants, and what they apparently aren’t that interested in is the four-ringed logo."

@@VV-ux1ew Ah, for me Audi is high powered crazy cars with 5 cylinders, tuned having 1000hp, drifting around corners.. while this new Audi shown here looks like a car for a grandma :D

[@Pertev777]

The design reminds of old generation Audi's like Audi 80 B2 and B3 or Audi 90 B2 and B3. Or even the Sport Quattro or partly S1. Exterior wise, this is very nostalgic

[@tadasnever]

It looks like it was inspired by eLegend EL1, which on social media made a lot of buzz not that long ago.

[@Pretzel829]

@@tadasneverlol el1

[@Pertev777]

​@@tadasnever oh yes. In the case even the rear seams be inspired by it. Its a simple yet bulky design trip to a long gone area of Audi

[@kfh123]

Great piece. Greetings from Germany

[@urbanstrencan]

Actually really like this AUDI model, I love that it is not another SUV :)

[@dennisd9804]

Given VW Group's desperation in China as well as Audi's struggles with profitability, I am not surprised that AUDI is... SAIC. Thank you for covering this on the Telescope! Let's see what this looks like in production.

[@knabbagluon]

Love the exterior and interior .

[@deltajohnny]

Great insight! 👏👏

[@cocoaiscool2709]

why not just buy IM L6

[@AprezaRenaldy]

Because IM is Alibaba and CATL companies.. prioritize specs over design. And 900 hp in a 40,000 usd car

[@ciybersal3499]

I love the design of IM L6. IM actually sold 10,000 cars in China last month so it's gaining momentum

[@dullumullu]

Shawn, Roof Spoilers like that do not work . Its a fake Aerodynamics solution. Its just a Design Element.

[@dalton-at-work]

maybe. or it might provide a reduction in drag.

[@dullumullu]

@@dalton-at-work No it does not provide ANY reduction in drag. If anything if the air is funneled downwards on the rear windscreen it "might" have a cleaning effect. The Spoiler itself would only be a drag obstacle in the aiflow.

[@dalton-at-work]

@@dullumullu you are assuming. kinda weird.

[@kevinliao3657]

Whoever thought this new logo was a good idea needs to be fired.

[@flyingillini1370]

How can they compete with the local competition with such a conservative design? Take a look at the Avatr, SU7, please!

[@kaurinjugoslav6326]

They have no other choice but to both hurry themselves up & consequently utilize the Chinese platforms... And as some of us know - it is not only the Germans!

[@liamporter1137]

I like the look. 👍

[@mingouczjcz3800]

Without the ICE's frontal intake grills, German carmakers don't know how to design the frontal facia of their cars,

[@Darkmatter321]

Love the side view, like the rear view, hate the front view. But glad to see at least one German car coming to its senses and deciding to let the Chinese do what they do best, build EVs

[@xmi4326]

LIKE! Waiting STARSHIP 7 from Geely!

RIP Audi

[@tommyolsen8224]

Make a video of the new SMART #5 !

[@HyperionLogic]

The exterior and interior designs are a success. The big question will be the price. Will it be cheaper than the typical Audi because of the missing rings?

[@experimental_av]

You can remove four zeros from the price

[@dullumullu]

The IM L6 reminds me of all the failures of the NIO ET7.-

[@code_play_channel]

It's a nondescript electric blob with some lettering.

[@_MANASYt]

After test-driving several EVs here in Xiamen yesterday and talking to disappointed people who've had an EV for some time... I've come to the conclusion that they aren't really worth it... Another interesting thing happening here is that even luxury brands have to lower their prices now because of EV popularity... You can now get an Audi A3 or a Mercedes A-class for €18-19K here in China. And that's what I'm gonna do...give EVs 10 more years 👻

[@Lontokka]

What a coincidence. When I moved to China I started calling myself BRIAN.

[@paidquartz]

There is nothing special about the car. And the German executives refusing to stick the four-zero logo on the car will be the final nail in the coffin for this complete failure.

[@vgstb]

I could not agree more, another complete fail out of the VAG stable.

[@dusselElite]

Do you call it 4 zeros in China? It actually called 4 rings in Germany pretty funny 🤣

[@MaticTheProto]

Looks good tho. Hate elsewhere

[@Pretzel829]

@@vgstblol stable

[@senseikanacke69]

Bro its a subbrand similar to byd and yangwang or volvo and polestar. They wanted to build a Independent brand but still keep the prestige which audi represents and the best way is to keep the name but change the logo

[@TheGoose98]

Well, at least it still has a better styled logo than Jaguar😂

[@user-wz8hp2ix9f]

It actually looks good to me, especially in the dark. It is for a lifestyle, not practicality.

[@ianpolo5673]

It's body-style is a wagon.

[@dxelson]

Audi only has brans recognition for them 😂 losing the four logo will be their death

It's a good looking car but I miss the four rings :(

[@gummibando]

Why countless upmarket brands have replaced decades-old logos that are often an inherit part of their brand heritage with nondescript sans-serif fonts is beyond me.

[@Waludka]

I think the design is too futuristic and a lot of people will love it but its certainly not for everyone especially without the four wheels aka rings

[@Farahman8]

The front of this Audi looks like the mouth of characters from Wallace & Gromit !

[@davidorama6690]

Chinese manufacturers are doing what Tesla should have done 5 years ago: use its equity to broker platform sharing deals with legacy car makers.

[@adriancooper78]

The 4 rings of Audi have meaning: Audi, Horch, DKW, and Wanderer, the foundation of the AUTO UNION it is not an Audi anymore with that. Call it SAIC/AUDI, Show the 4 Rings with the SAIC logo, but do not take away the 4 Rings and plaster some cheap looking font on the front of the car and call it an AUDI. SAIC is no light weight and makes some serious cars!!! It being a player in the automotive industry from before the 2nd World War If it's a joint venture then it should be reflected in the manufacturing and presented in the logo.

[@oxidalpha6350]

The problem are not the cars. The chinese brands dont have better evs better electric motors or inverters. Even the same battery technology is available for german brands. The reason why legacy brabds strugle in china is because chinese people now buy chinese brands like germans buy german and americans buy american brands. Its patriotism. And audi trys to create a chinese audi brand so the people in china can buy a chinese audi.

[@DIVEnSOME]

That’s a rebadged SAIC, AUDI probably needs the money bad, they had to let this happen , that’s why it doesn’t even have the real rings logo , I hope the boot is large enough,, and just as a passing note, ev manufacturers are making these vehicles way too complicated , tech is good but all people want is range and space in a solid package .

[@startupfundraising3300]

Is this really designed by AUDI? It is tasteless to say the list.

[@Garage05X]

i wonder why the chinese media und the western media are so remote from each other. I think the public view on china as a country and as a manufacturer would be much diffrent if we would surf on the same internet. On the latest car show in china, 60 diffrent brands represented there cars, as a german seeing those cars and the amount of brands is unbelievable. Tho this is the first time i see one of these chinse cars on youtube (not the audi but the other ones).

[@captainpotato8823]

Paudi

[@AndrewTSq]

They made an Audi that looks nothing like a Audi, or feel nothing like and Audi. This will probably be a big failure.

[@superlama6452]

this car is so ugly! looks like a downgrade

[@akmalfahmimdamin-250]

joining the bandwagon here, id say.. this car wouldve been more sick with 4 rings .. "AUDI".. really? 😑

[@catha86]

They are done. China is now a big player in the EV market and they are doing so great against the very best and biggest that they know they have no other choice than to go chinese EV and brand them german or japanese, européen. China has now come so far in development that its impossible to catch up. Its just a matter of when the chinese will buy VW, audi and so on.

[@niosanfrancisco]

Whatever ……..😂

[@尘-h1m]

[@PortfolioPL]

These generic looking cars for the Chinese market are soo boring. Melted chassis look, terrible steering wheel (it has to have some weird shape), no personality in the interior, just slap in a large screen and that is it. The customers will buy little trinkets from Taobao to decorate it so we don't have to. Add as many annoying warning nosies as possible (they are waking up babies so difficult to get to sleep all the time) and since there are no buttons anymore even for the commonly used functions add an annoying voice assistant to hide the fact that seat heating is in a sub menu now not on a button FFS. The Zeekr whatever vs BMW i3 video showed this well: the BMW has a character while the Chinese car could be replaced by practically any other Chinese car, they all look the same inside. Has to look good in the showrooms which are closing all around China as sales plummet and will break down in a few years anyway cause quality is not something they planned to have. Then advertise them like this "775hp..." like that matters in China where the max speed in the cities is 80km/h and there are constant traffic jams. All machines have the same speed at the red light. Also typo in the title: ""AUDI E conept Static" Conept :)

[@pandafuq]

Lmao did Chinese evs fuck your mom?

[@amaldev4150]

Wait for a bit and china will produce best cars in the world, think of this - they have come a long way, Germans are doomed.

[@justdadstuff5171]

Maybe next time try some lube it may make you sound a bit less butthurt.

[@cwdjdsd-36321cs]

Does it matter whether it's generic or not lol. Chinese EV companies are leaving the western manufacturers in the dust when it comes to technology. Look at the sales of western automakers in china, they are free falling. They can't even make a proper EV without the help of Chinese companies.

[@kaurinjugoslav6326]

De gustibus non est disputandum... Is a saying wrote down by the Romans, but as old as human beings. TBH, I am following Chinese EVs for a long time, and I have to say that the design work (of mostly western designers) is much more appealing against those of traditional manufacturers. When you combine it with technic, pricing & standard equipment - you have an auto-industry revolution which seemed unimaginable just few years ago!

[@MidiX2]

UGLY and Block this Channel for supporting German Brands.
