Audi Sport Quattro Concept rides 21st century

 As the largest party at the Frankfurt is the Audi Sport Quattro Concept on stage. The study builds on the concept shown three years ago with almost the same name and is one step closer to a possible production model.

In 2010, Audi presented at the Paris Motor Show already a study model named Quattro Concept for. Went on series production - as with most concept cars - for some time rumors, but the knot was never cut. Three years later, Audi does exercise over again, but it adds the name ' Sport' to this second chapter around the Audi Sport Quattro of the 21st century, which Audi still has not confirmed whether a production model is built.

The line of the new Audi Sport Quattro is obviously loosely based on that of the original primal Quattro from 1983. Audi claims that the function took precedence over the design , but the brand will not deny that there are a lot of drawing involved went with the grille and light units minimalist performed ( with the innovative matrix LED headlights , as with the new Audi A8 ) still . The Sport Quattro also points already a glimpse into the future, because as you will see on the future S and RS models. Grille back Resting does the car on a large 21-inch wheels, screwed with a single nut. Very racy. These are also the carbon - ceramic brakes that lie behind the honeycomb wheels.
                       
The interior, which is optically only provides the much needed features, includes contoured sports seats with integrated head restraints and driver-oriented fully digital instrumentation. Of course, all adjustable, with different modes including a screen that the driver provides all the relevant information as it once with the car on a circuit.

Incidentally, only the Audi Sport Quattro offers space for two people, but with a length of 4.60 meters and a width of 1.96 meters, it already takes more space than the first attempt in 2010.

Then the power. Let's start out by saying that version 1.0 with its 408 hp five - cylinder turbo but is a wimp compared to this new one. The Audi Sport Quattro Concept spitting namely so briefly 700 hp and 800 Nm of! If we also add that the average fuel consumption is just 2.5 l/100km, then you may already have in mind that it is a plug-in hybrid.

The Audi Sport Quattro is designed so that it can split a 560 hp and 700 Nm strong 4.0 -liter V8 biturbo and an electric motor that generates 150 hp and 400 Nm forces. In only the latter can be in EV mode up to 50 km driven. Then, the lithium -ion battery back to the socket. You want both powertrain their strength dual clutch fresh lice along to the tarmac via an 8 - speed automatic transmission, then you should turn. Conscious button in Sport mode this combination ensures that a time of 3.7 seconds can be put down to the 100 km / h sprint - and that can be. A top speed of 305 km / h achieved

Impressive performances, making you almost forget that the Audi Sport Quattro an obese battery pack must entrainment. Audi therefore attempting to compensate by using. Lightweight materials as much as possible Aluminum for the doors and wings for example, and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic roof, bonnet and boot lid. Yet the studies with 1,850 kg still become a featherweight. Alas, with so much power do you just not watch an ounce...
