While a popular car in germany, the Squat has not found wide acceptance in the states.  This is mostly due to the fact that virtually nothing stands out about this car, in fact is virtually a clone of every other citycar out there, improving on nothing.

Volksrad doesn't put the Audi log on much these days, having designated strictly for Nextgen product research, so when you do see it on a new vehicle, it means something special is hapenning.  The RSQ is no different.  It is quite possibly the most advanced car on the road, and basically re-imagines the automobile from scratch.  Beginning with, and most impressively, the drive system itself.  An electric/CHOOH2 hybrid that gets 40 miles to the gallon of a 20 gallon tank, with a performance comparable to any eauropean supercar.  In addition, and further away from convention, the car does not run on wheels, instead it utilizes spheres driven by powerful electromagnetic generators, similiar in concept to a mag-lev train, and originally concieved by a german researcher named Hanneford.  These mag driven spheres use the same system for an extremely intuitive braking system.  Most impressively, they also allow the vehicle to travel at full speed in any direction, including sideways. For safety reasons this feature has a computer lock on it, which effectively keeps the cars driving performance in state with conventional driving due to the extreme maneuvers possible.  To have the system locks disengaged, you must pass the course with an Audi liscenced instructor (driving skill of 6 required to pass), who will then code your DNA signature into the reader located on the steering wheel.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: crash control system, full audio entertainment suite, mag-lev driving system, security system, digital dash, cybernetic linkage, phone, GPS,
