2007 LA Motor Show Design Challenge: Audi Virtuea Quattro
The annual LA Auto Show Design Challenge entries have been revealed and we’ll be showing off the entire series today on Autoblog. The challenge’s theme this year is “Robocar 2057″ and we think each team tells a story with their design of how that particular automaker views the future in 50 years. We’ll tell you those stories, which are entirely fictional, written by us and not associated with the actual automakers involved in any way, as we introduce you to the cars, and at the end of the day we’ll have an unofficial poll to crown our own winner.

The Car: The Audi team’s entry is called the Virtuea Quattro, which is a misnomer because it appears this enclosed cycle only has two wheels instead of four. Perhaps Virtuea Duo would be a more appropriate name. Skinned in chrome, the Virtuea Quattro is powered by hydrogen somehow (details apparently aren’t required for this thought experiment) and has the unique ability of displaying the holographic exterior of any car throughout history, though Audi would prefer if you made it look like the R8.
The Future According to Audi: After designing the largest grille in modern history, Audi designers were disbanded in 2008 for crimes against taste. Now homeless and hungry, they sit on the sidewalk in New New York circa 2057 and watch as the Virtuea Quattro drives by holographically projecting every car design throughout history except their own. The future is a fickle mistress, dear friends.
