The Audi fleet shuttle Quattro is not a real car, and the only way to see it outside of a screen is if you happen upon the 1:4 model that was displayed at the concept’s movie premiere in Ender’s Game – it will probably be paraded around though, so it’s not out of the question to see it.
Looks-wise, it does capture the vibe of the movie well yet retains the common Audi styling cues all around the body – the glass canopy is one of its highlight features, as are the completely covered wheels. These are detailed in one of the photos you’ll find in the gallery below.
I like the fact that the team behind it didn’t just design it to look cool and suitably futuristic, and actually took the time to figure out how it would all realistically work – we’ll have to actually see the movie to gauge just how well it all came together. Still, the video also found below does at one point show the car stripped down to the bare chassis - it’s nice to know that it was thought up with it in mind.
The interior is also designed to be/look functional, and it’s digitally grafted onto actual interior shots from aboard an A7 – Harrison Ford drove the series car during the filming; what you see around him in the film is CGI .
