Click here to download printer friendly version Audi tackles its most ambitious product placement project ever: For the epic event motion picture 'I, ROBOT', Audi Design developed the spectacular vehicle, which helps leading actor Will Smith - a homicide detective in the year 2035 - solve a mystery that could have grave consequences for the human race. In the near future, technology and robots are a trusted part of everyday life. In 'I, ROBOT', that trust is broken and one man, alone against the system, sees it coming. The film employs spectacular visual effects innovations beyond any ever put on screen, to bring a world of robots to life. The film is directed by Alex Proyas (Dark City, The Crow) and is set in a world created by famed science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in his short story collection 'I, ROBOT'.

The resulting Audi RSQ sport coupe is a visionary interpretation of Audi's typical design language. The most important thing was that despite its extreme character the car should still be recognized as an Audi. The cinemagoer will therefore see the new Audi front-end with the typical single-frame grille in the movie. The RSQ includes special features suggested by movie director Alex Proyas. The mid-engined sports car operated by the story's police department, races through the Chicago of the future not on wheels but on spheres. Its two doors are rear-hinged to the C-posts of the body and open according to the butterfly principle. In addition to the RSQ concept car, Audi supplied further series-production cars which appear - in disguised shapes - in the movie's traffic scenes. Audi also supplied the interior mock-up used for interior car scenes.

 mag lev spheres

 This car could be built for real now. It runs on mag lev spheres. It is less complex than existing cars. This means all systems are replaced by electronics. For example the brakes, no mechanical contact, its all done with electronic switching of the magnets. Steering, the spheres are controlled by switching of the magnets lines that lie at right angles to each other. To see all the basic detail visit the UK Patent OfficeÆs web site and look up the reference no GB2371033B author Hannaford. Because it is so simple there will be no stopping its eventual production for real. What we have to day is no different to what we had 100 years ago. Wait till the Japanese wake up to this idea, they just love anything that is mag lev. I wonder who will get it off the ground first, where are the Americans, letÆs see some muscle, that should stir things up a bit.
