Audi also introduced its new sister brand “AUDI” (written in capital letters) through the AUDI E concept, developed in collaboration with SAIC. The 4.87-meter Sportback concept showcases impressive specifications with 570 kW of power from dual electric motors and quattro all-wheel drive. Notably, the concept foregoes Audi’s traditional four-rings logo in favor of the AUDI lettering, signaling a distinct brand identity for the Chinese market.
