Audi Space Frame

Audi Space Frame® (ASF)

Audi was the first marque to use aluminum to manufacture production car bodies. And as with all innovation from the Ingolstadt carmaker, this technology is constantly refined.

The upshot is a new-generation, high-strength Audi Space Frame® (ASF) made from aluminum and magnesium which has been developed for the R8.
