Audi: Moto concept by an individual designer

This is how an Audi motorcycle might look like, at least if it comes to Bertrand Bach, an individual designer.

The Motorcycle business and lifestyle are hot. Hit the road on any weekend and you’ll see droves of two-wheelers on the highways and byways. Knowing that, and knowing Audi/Auto Union’s own history for motorcycles, an obvious and immediate flow of thought goes to what a modern Audi motorcycle would be like. What would happen if you applied the ‘Vorsprung Durch Technik’ (translated: 'Lead Through Technology') mantra to this different form of transportation? It is just that question that vehicle designer Bertrand Bach set about answering with the design you see here.

Bach cited the Audi TT as an inspiration for the work, utilizing a similar approach to clean and strong design that is also carries an emotional element due, as he explains, “to the balance of the volumes.” He also tops this off with another characteristic element of the TT – that of beautifully detailed design elements.

Note the winglets on the sides of the fuel tank – a perfect place for the Audi brand logo of four interlocking rings, while on top of the tank a TT-inspired alloy filler cap is displayed.

Puuh, I wish we will build motorcycles some day again, in memory of good ol' times but with designs like this. Would be great! What do you think?
