Audi Urban Future: Project New York

Audi will take advantage of New York's 'Festival of Ideas' to display their vision of Manhattan in 2030, an objective that fulfills part of the German automaker's Urban Future Initiative. Now in its second year (the first was held in Venice last year) the initiative was created with the intention of looking at the future of megacities as well as individual transport methods and mobility. For Project New York, Audi will be bringing together architects, designers, artists and researchers to visualize ideas for the city's future, and the carmaker has collaborated with the Architizer architecture community to create a 1:1200 scale model of Manhattan.

Nissan has revealed a new London taxi, dubbed the ‘NV200 London Taxi', following the compact van's selection as New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow.

The NV200, which measures in at 1,860mm high, 4,440mm long and 2,100mm wide, seats five passengers with three on a rear bench and two rear facing fold down seats while the removal of the front passenger seat increases luggage space, much in the same way as the traditional London taxi.
