Audi Quattro, iPad Controlled Slot Car Experience

Audi Quattro Experience features 1:32 scale model 2013 Audi A4 quattro slot cars. They are an almost perfect replica of the real thing.

The shells of these models were constructed using 3D printers, which were then mounted on custom made Audi quattro all wheel drive slot car chassis.

The unique thing about this slot car experience is that it is the first of its kind that uses iPad controllers. The cars are controlled using a custom developed iOS application. The application controls the acceleration of the cars using digital voltage modulator.

All cars have a camera inside. The video captured by these is used as live video feed that is displayed on the iPad.

There is even a high definition race camera that provides bird's eye view of the track, with integrated social media share function.

The track itself, which is completely hand built, measures 140 sq-ft and offers variety of track conditions such as hairpin turns, long highway straightaways and icy mountain passes.

The team have even developed a documentary movie named Painting Coconuts. The film captures the complete build process undertaken by David Beattie, while also shedding light on Beattie's love for custom track building. The film also provides information about the sport of slot car racing.

"This was the perfect opportunity for us to reimagine what a test drive could be, and bring a truly unique and memorable experience to Audi fans," said Zak Mroueh, President and Executive Creative Director of Zulu Alpha Kilo.

"In every way, this innovative experience brings to life our passion for design, craftsmanship and sportiness. It's also a perfect embodiment of the progressive ideals of the Audi brand and our desire to delight our customers in Canada," said Jennifer Dobbs, Audi Brand Marketing Manager.
