Audi Announces 2026 A6 Sedan with Record 0.23 Drag at $64,100 Starting Price - Yanko Design

Revolutionary Aerodynamic Design Redefines Sedan Architecture The ninth-generation A6 fundamentally reimagines traditional sedan proportions through advanced computational fluid dynamics. Sweeping window curves flow elegantly from front side windows into the fixed rear glass without interruption. Wide tracks and distinctive quattro blisters emerge powerfully from the shoulder areas to create visual drama. Active grille shutters automatically close at highway speeds to minimize wind resistance through the engine bay. Three-dimensionally modeled air curtains positioned beneath the headlights channel airflow smoothly around the vehicle body.

Brilliant Audi poster turns cars into... fashion?

Fashion design and automobile design share more commonalities than you might think. Both juggle modernity and a huge amount of heritage, and luxury is often hugely important pursuit for designers in both sectors. So it was perhaps only a matter of time until the two collided. Timed to coincide with London Fashion Week, Audi has revealed 'Audi Couture', a print ad imagining Audi parts laid flat as a dressmaking pattern (which, to my eye, has more than a hint of 'Transformers' to it).

The Lamborghini Revuelto: First Drive with stupidDOPE | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008

Back in 2023 at Art Basel Miami Beach, Lamborghini celebrated sixty years with the unveiling of the Revuelto Opera Unica, a hand-painted one-off that blurred the line between design and fine art. I had the privilege of sitting down one on one with Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini's Director of Design, walking through the details of the Revuelto in person.

Audi design finds its minimalist groove again with Concept C

Fans of the TT rejoice-there's a new Audi two-seater on the way. The German automaker just unveiled Concept C, a stylish and minimalist sports car that marks the start of a new styling philosophy and, hopefully, a return to the bold designs that brought it so much success. There are design cues and links back through Audi's history, but this is no pastiche of a retro design as we might have seen from J Mays.

10 Best Automotive Designs Of August 2025 - Yanko Design

August has been an excellent month for automotive design. We witnessed concepts that made us question everything we thought we knew about getting around. From delivery scooters that borrowed tech straight from Hollywood camera crews to hypercars that looked like they'd been beamed down from 2040, designers threw caution to the wind and delivered some mind-bending ideas that somehow felt both completely insane and totally inevitable.

The BMW iX may be one of the ugliest cars on sale, but underneath that ugly wrapper lies quite a lovely electric car.

In addition to the new sound, the shape of the 6 N is obviously quite a bit different than that of the SUV-silhouette of the Ioniq 5. Being a sedan means having a trunk, and on that trunk is a mighty large wing with a dramatic curving profile to match the sculpted edges at the rear of the 6 N.
