The second car will be a sedan, which is still in the drawing board. The car will feature a sporty, aggressive styling, but the sedan will not be slotted above the A8, as Audi doesn't want to overprice the electric sedan.

Stadler said that there will be 25 – 30 percent increase in sales of electric cars by 2025. Also, Audi wants to set-up a subsidiary company called as SDS (Self Driving Systems).
