Today, where many companies support the \u2018green\u2019 concept by sponsoring several racing events where the vehicles are powered by natural resources like wind and solar energy, Audi has gone a step further and designed the Makaon Speedsailor with seating arrangements made to suit the requirements of a driver as well as a sailor. This vehicle is made to work using wind energy. So, in order to improve the speed and handling, the Makaon was designed to be as light as possible, yet sturdy and durable to withstand extreme climatic conditions.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nA small solar powered airship which tracks and follows the Makaon&#8217;s movements is designed to assist the driver by relaying on-track information. With features like the seating compartment being able to swing outward to either the left or right in order to balance the vehicle when in strong winds and the sail position being able to vary with angle to the wind direction, this definitely proves it that it has been designed for the future.<br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor2.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor2.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=800,height=522,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor2-thumb-450x293.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"293\" alt=\"Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor2.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor3.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor3.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=800,height=522,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor3-thumb-450x293.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"293\" alt=\"Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor3.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor4.php\" onclick=\"window.open(&#039;https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/entry_images\/1109\/10\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor4.php&#039;,&#039;popup&#039;,&#039;width=800,height=489,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#039;); return false\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress-1190801-4202256.cloudwaysapps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor4-thumb-450x275.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"275\" alt=\"Audi_Makaon_Speedsailor4.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n[<a href=\"http:\/\/www.diseno-art.com\/encyclopedia\/concept_cars\/audi_makaon_speedsailor.html\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow external noopener noreferrer\">Diseno-art<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being consciously aware about the current state of our environment with its constantly depleting energy resources, industrial designer Bj\u00f6rn Wehrli has decided to make a difference by designing a unique concept of the Audi Makaon Speedsailor that is set to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/greenlaunches.com\/transport\/audis-land-sailor-makaon-speedsailor-runs-on-wind-and-solar-energy.php\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Continue reading3 <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[178,565,399],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Audi\u2019s land-sailor Makaon SpeedSailor runs on wind and solar energy!
