Audi recently unveiled the potentially revolutionary skysphere at Monterey Car Week. We talk a lot about performance numbers, but the skysphere’s truly unique attribute is that it can change shape. With the push of a button, you can convert this supercar from a stylish roadster to a spacious and comfortable grand tourer.

If you are simply looking to navigate through beautiful landscapes, you can activate the automated tour system. In this mode, the cabin is configured for greater comfort. In addition to enjoying the scenery, you can interact with a large digital board and talk comfortably with your travel companion.

If you want to unleash the full potential of the Skysphere, you can activate sports mode. In this configuration the previously hidden steering wheel emerges. The driver’s seat, for its part, moves forward to allow a better view of the road.

When buying a supercar, you usually have to make trade-offs between comfort and performance. A cockpit ideally configured for racing must make sacrifices in terms of comfort. Likewise, if you want to enjoy maximum comfort, you have to give up some performance.

The audi skysphere will try to offer both at the same time. That is, if it ever gets put into production. For now, the skysphere remains a visionary concept.

While the Skysphere may never make it to production, styling cues and vision may influence future Audi vehicles. The luxury automaker is investing heavily in automation and other advanced technologies to improve both performance and comfort.
