Audi's New A2.

Audi has confirmed plans for  all-electric successor to the A2, six years after the first-generation model ceased production.

The five-door hatch retains the distinctive silhouette, short overhangs, shallow glasshouse treatment and aluminium spaceframe construction of the original A2. However, it receives a more technical appearance in keeping with other recent new Audis, notably the A1, with which the new car will share elements of its chassis and underpinnings.

If everything goes according to plan,expect to see the A2 in showrooms by 2013.
