Audi Locus Concept to inspire next generation TT?

The Audi Locus was designed by the Turkish stylist Ugar Sahin, who says the curvy concept has been inspired by nature, and it’s one of the entries in this year’s prestigious Mich­elin Challenge Design competition.

The main characteristics of the design are the way its surface shapes are formed with a continuous flow from front until the back of the car. Inspiration for that was obviously the Mother Nature we deal with daily but somehow we usually do not realize that everything in the nature has somehow its specific curves and flowing lines it is very rarely to spot perfectly straight lines. The main goal was to implement this design aspect into a car which creates a relaxing, energetic, vibrant and confident feeling.

Raised haunches and flared wheel­arches give it the look of a mus­cular, aggressive TT. There is also a deeper version of the Audi grille, plus a curva­ceous waistline and low sills - and it all makes the car a strong contender for the tyre giant’s coveted title.
