Audi Quattro Concept gets driven around the rally stages of your dreams by a turbocharged 5-cylinder. This revealed in Paris to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original car’s 1980 debut.
Dimensions officially come in at 4.28 m long, 1.86 m wide, and 1.33 m tall. The designers have cut 150 millimeters (5.9 inches) out of the wheelbase – now 2.6 meters – and chopped the roof by 40 mm in order to save weight from the get-go. In order to reach a svelte 1,300 kilograms / 2,866 lbs (200 kilos / ~441 lbs less than the TT RS).
2010 Audi Quattro Concept use the carbon fiber for the hood, hatch, spoiler, and other bits. Designers have also thrown out the rear seats, which have been replaced with a helmet / luggage shelf. The all-LED light setup at the front fascia, between which sits Audi’s signature wide-mouth grille. Move to the front wide-body fenders and appreciate that underneath lies a 5-link suspension with “key components” in aluminum.
On the interior include the two 18-kilo passenger seats have either three- or four-point harnesses, while the driver faces a fully digital display which has two modes, “normal” and “race”. If opting for race mode that the graphics “revisit and refine” the Ur-quattro’s digital display.
Also Audi has given the driver some more throwbacks: four buttons (two on each side) to control the stopwatch and MMI functions at above the readout. One such multimedia function is the neat web-radio, which uses a cell phone to connect to radio stations worldwide.
Engine, though, the 2.5-liter unit makes 408-horsepower / 300 kW and uses a 6-speed manual transmission to drive all four 20-inch wheels with 480 Nm / 354 lb-ft. Behind the center-locking dubs are carbon-ceramic discs wearing 6-piston grippers.
