CAR magazine UK says Audi is planning its own bite-sized electric city car. Volkswagen Group is up and about, so to speak, preparing for the 2011 launch of its VW Up!, which we have deduced will revive the name Lupo. The Up! concept – pictured here throughout – made its debut at the Frankfurt Motor-Show back in 2007 as a rear-engined mini car for people living in cities. It is possibly VW’s way of harking back to the original Volkswagen – which became famous under its nickname Beetle – as well as offering an alternative to Mercedes-Benz’s Smart fortwo and BMW’s teeny city car.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
