Audi A2

Automobiles

The Audi A2, internally Typ 8Z, is a compact five-door hatchback of the supermini and small MPV kind, produced by the German manufacturer Audi from November 1999 to August 2005. It grew out of the Audi Al2 concept shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997 and was notable for its aluminium construction, which kept it light and fuel efficient. It was built at Audi's aluminium plant in Neckarsulm on a purpose-built line, and the special 3L diesel version was the first five-door car on sale in Europe to average under 3 litres per 100 kilometres. The design brief was to create a small Audi, not a cheap Audi. Sales disappointed Audi, with a final production of 176,377 units against about a million for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class.
