Audi A2

The Audi A2 marked a departure from the normal for the German company. Produced from 1999 to 2005 at the company's Neckarslum plant, the all-aluminium hatchback was designed to sit below the Audi A3 at the bottom of the range. The styling was very advanced - it was based upon the Al-2 concept car - along with the build - Audi was the first to incorporate lightweight aluminium into mass-production. However, the car was not particularly successful, due to its high price and slightly odd styling, and Audi reportedly sold only 200,000 examples over its six-year production run.
