It's Friday: Audi launches latest zero-emission cars at International Toy Fair |
Audi has
seemingly done the impossible: Produce desirable cars that emit exactly
zero pollution or carbon dioxide. One of them is even a replica of the
classic Auto Union Silver Arrow Type C race car, painted up in the
expected shade of silver.
Perhaps the only problem is that these cars aren't exactly street
legal. In fact, the aforementioned Auto Union model is exactly one half
the size of the original racer, meaning its cockpit may only be
suitable for children, and it's powered by pedals. Guess that makes
sense, since the cars are being shown off at the 61st International Toy
Fair in Nuremberg, Germany.
Audi is the first automaker to feature its wares at the show. "It's an
exciting project," said Caroline Gerberding, who is responsible for
exhibitions and events at quattro GmbH. "For the first time, the main
focus of an exhibit is not to present our cars, but instead is aimed at
showing off our 'little' Audi world."
