Audi A8 prototype can drive like Lotus or Mercedes

The engineers at Audi created a new concept car that is definitely original. The A8 can electronically change its driving performance by tacking on additional hydraulics and an active steering system. The steering system includes hardware to steer the rear wheels. This allows the A8 to give the feel of a Lotus Elise, E-Class Mercedes-Benz, VW GTI, or even a Hyundai Getz.

The system is called HOSRT. This stands for Handling Online Research Stimulation Tool. Audi probably won’t be taking this project mainstream, but it could open up doors for future car models.
