Audi hasn"t just brought the RS6 and RS7 to this week"s Frankfurt Motor Show - this weird-looking off-road thing is on display too. It"s called the AI:Trail, and it"s the fourth car in Audi"s series of AI-branded autonomous concepts. The first, the A8-sized luxury Aicon, was revealed at Frankfurt two years ago. Then came the AI:RACE (then called the PB18) electric supercar at Pebble Beach in 2018, and most recently the AI:ME, a city-car shown at this year"s Shanghai Motor Show. And now we have the AI:TRAIL - an electric, autonomous off-road thing. The 4.15 metre long, 2.15 metre wide concept has 34cm of ground clearance and can ford rivers half a metre deep. The 22in wheels (shod with 850mm tyres) each get their own electric motor, giving precisely-controlled all-wheel drive and 430bhp/738lb ft of torque. On-road it should be able to travel between 250 and 300 miles between charges, while the additional power needed for hardcore off-roading means in such situations, range is limited to 155 miles.
