Audi has recently unveiled an off-road concept car, which has been titled the 'TRAIL Quattro.' The car was designed to be able to explore remote locations, which is why it was fitted with a total of five drones that function as headlights. The drones are able to act in more ways than conventional headlights and can illuminate different areas.
The TRAIL Quattro is completely electrically powered and has a range of 310 miles. However, when off-roading the range is reduced to 155 miles. The car is large in order to fulfill its off-road purpose, measuring in at 13.5 feet long and 7 feet wide, with wheels at 22-inches. The body of the car is created using steel, aluminum, and carbon fiber, all contributing to the car's 3,858 lb weight.
