The Audi RSQ concept car was unveiled to awaiting eyes in 2004 at the New York International Automobile Show. Even though the Audi RSQ has a wildly futuristic design, people still recognize the car as an Audi especially when viewing front end with single frame grille.

The RSQ is the first car that Audi has designed specifically for the movies. The Audi RSQ was developed for "I, Robot" starring Will Smith, set in the year 2035. Based on a short story collection by Isaac Asimov, the movie employs spectacular visual effects and the Audi RSQ sport coupe is neatly integrated into those effects.

One of the most unique features of the Audi RSQ is that it has no traditional wheels or tires. The RSQ has four spheres in place of wheels that it motors upon. The Audi RSQ also has unique gull-wing doors mounted on C-posts towards the rear of the vehicle, which, when opened adds to its dramatic appearance.

The laminate glass fiber body wraps around the spherical wheels and the lunar silver paint with a bluish tint helps achieve the futuristic look. When the lunar paint is exposed to bright light it appears golden due to the "flop effect".

The Audi RSQ is a 2-door, 2-seat, mid-engine sports coupe with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic transmission. As one might expect from a future car, this concept vehicle is powerful as well. The Audi RSQ has a 5.0 liter, 610 hp twin-turbo V-10 engine with 553 ft.-lb of torque. Estimated acceleration from 0 - 60 is 4.0 seconds.

The one aspect missing from the Audi RSQ is the hydrogen fuel tank to power the vehicle as by the year 2035, surely most vehicles will be converted to hydrogen by this time. But, all in all, the Audi RSQ is one of the most exciting concept cars to be unveiled within the past 5 years.
