A Russian designer got a prize for Audi concept.

An experimental project of Audi Quattroflex, which was made by a student from Ural (Russia) was given the first prize for new technologies implying at Interior Motives Design Awards - 2006. The winner said that he was making the project in his spare time and the idea of the vehicle came to his mind about two years ago

The material will make it possible for the driver to change the shape of his seat as he wants and moreover the total length of the vehicle can be changed. The car itself consists of two cylindrical parts in which there are the devices for changing the seats’ position. The length of the car can be changed with the help of a complicated device which uses additional  body units.

Audi Quattroflex is driven with a joystick, so you see the car can be used in both right and left-hand traffic.

The only problem is that the material which was imagined by the designer doesn’t exist yet. But the student says that scholars are working on the question now.
