The new Audi A4 is designed for optimal con-
formance with current crash requirements
and safety standards.
This could only be achieved by increasing the
body weight.
In order to reduce this additional weight to a
minimum, the proportion of light-weight
materials has been increased in comparison
to its predecessor.
The proportion of high-strength sheet metal
parts as well as the use of a total of 10 large
component "tailored blanks", contribute sig-
nificantly to weight reduction.
Body rigidity has been increased by 45 % by
increasing the number of connection points
by 25 %.
Depending upon vehicle weight, performance and fuel consumption are the characteristics
which our customers can experience at first hand.
