Audi Creates World’s First iPad Controlled Slot Car Race

We posted some in-car footage of this little bad boy in action back in September. Here’s the full case film for this very cool concept from Zulu Alpha Kilo and Audi Canada.

The project involved a number of innovations to marry the worlds of slot car racing and technology with the Audi brand:

• A handcrafted 140 sq. ft. (20’ by 7’) custom slot car track
• 3D printed 2013 Audi A4 vehicle shells fit with Audi quattro® all wheel drive slot car chassis and custom in-car cameras
• Custom iPad app integrating live in-car camera feed and digital voltage modulator to control vehicle acceleration
• High definition bird’s eye view race cam with integrated Facebook, Twitter and YouTube share function
