The aluminum car has a body built with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and will weigh approximately 660 lbs. The 2013 Audi Quattro Coupe will have an interior with seats made out of forged composites (which is a new way to use carbon fiber.) Since the car has not gone into production yet, the exact specs have not yet been revealed, but the concept has a speedy turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that is attached to a six-speed transmission. The 2013 Audi Quattro Coupe can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. The top speed to this luxurious ride is 155 mph. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lightweight Luxury Cars:** The use of carbon fiber technology in luxury car design creates opportunities for lighter and faster cars without compromising comfort or design. - **Forged Composite Materials:** The use of previously unused materials like forged composites (and carbon fiber) can lead to more sustainable and durable luxury cars with unique textures and design features. - **Turbocharged Engines:** Continuing development and innovation in turbocharged engine technology opens up new possibilities for faster, more efficient, and quieter engines in luxury cars. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Car Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can focus on new design materials like carbon fiber and forged composites to make lightweight luxury cars with unique design elements to attract discerning customers. - **Automotive Component Manufacturing:** There is an opportunity for manufacturers to specialize in the production of lightweight but durable components like forged composites and carbon fiber to supply luxury car makers. - **Automotive Engineering and Design:** Innovative engineering and design teams can leverage the potential of turbocharged engines and novel material technologies to further develop high-performance, luxury vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleekly-Designed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-rs-etron-gt.md) - [Luxury Aerodynamic Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-a6-sedan.md) - [Beastly Luxury Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-q4-55-etron.md) - [Coupe-Inspired Crossover Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-quanta.md) - [Luxury Sleek Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q8-55-etron.md) - [Sophisticated High-Range EV Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-audi-a6-etron.md) - [Off-Road Electric SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q6-etron-offroad-concept.md) - [Ultra-Luxury Super-Coupes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolls-royce.md) - [Powerful All-Electric Station Wagons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-a6-avant.md)
