    The New Audi quattro.



    There are rumors that the TT will be ended in favor of the "new Audi quattro".
    It would be based on the MQB platform to take over the TT slot in the Audi range, because the TT is not making the number it should be.
    The "quattro concept" (very well liked) is not that much bigger then the TT Mk2 and the TT Mk3 would grow anyway, making the differences less then 10 cm wheelbase and overall length.
    The "New Audi quattro" can be put higher up the Audi chain because it's more exclusive then the TT.

    This car with the new V6 Bi-TFSI 475 hp engine would be a killer car.

    Not clear what other engines will be available.
    All very vague.

    is that a reliable publication? is it perhaps going to be a new R8 concept? I doubt audi would put out a concept with no plans for production- and such a concept in a next gen a5/s5/rs5 bodystyle with such a weight and power (as pictured) just would not make sense since if it were ever produced would compete directly pricewise and performance wise with the r8.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    The presentation of this car at the IAA 2013 would be a very appropriate vehicle for the purpose of promoting Audis' announced design signature revisions.
    Various elements such as the front facia with its' shallow, horizontally accentuated headlamps and vertical side air intakes as well as the precisely indented shoulder line and ascending concave lower flank with sharply finned rocker panels will familiarize consumers with various themes that are sure to appear on most future Audi passenger cars.
    In addition, recent "chatter" regarding future Audis' appears to have become a bit SUV "heavy".
    I am pleased that Audi does not appear to have neglected sporting and elegant coupes/cabriolets/sedans in its' planned portfolio.

    Not sure if it would use the V8TT, at that power level it would make the R8 irrelevant especially if that weight can be kept.

    Will not use V8 TT, but may use new 3.0-litre V6 TT.

    probably a preview of the next gen RS5. my personal opinion is that the next gen a4 and a5 models will be inspired by the Quattro concept. the RS5 variant of the B9 platform will be the production version of the concept. with a screaming 475 hp V6 TT engine and a light chassis it will be a cracker.

    I hope Audi will build the quattro concept and replace the A/S/RS5 Coupe with it, and make the Next Gen A5 "SportBack" ONLY.

    I don't know, the A5 coupe and convertible are too sucessful to lose its basic models, it would be like MB cutting its C class and only keeping the C63 AMG blackseries or BMW only having the M4 CLS and 4 series GC. The more I think about I agree with RXBG that this is a preview of next gen A5 styling (closer to RS5). The yellow render looks great, much better than all other next gen A5 renders that basically have the current A5 shape with a new bumper and lights. It feels like the next A5 shouldn't bee too far away.

    As with the previous concept I don't see where this would fit in the lineup, much too similar to the RS5 in looks and performance and most sources said that to achieve the target weight it would be more expensive than the R8 without its supercar design. The only way I see that Audi does a full on carbon fiber limited edition (say under 1,000 total production) is the R18 inspired hypercar.

    Der VW-Konzern rüstet für die Frankfurter IAA 2013.
    Heiße Messe-Neuheiten planen alle Marken, aber die Überraschung bietet Audi – einen extremen Leichtbau-Sportler im zackigen Coupé-Kleid.
    Die Ingolstädter planen allen Ernstes die Serienversion.


    Mit einem ultrasportlichen Kracher will Audi auf der Frankfurter IAA die Rivalen BMW und Mercedes schocken.
    Streng geheim ist das Thema, das schon seit Wochen das Okay des Vorstands hat – und jetzt heftig die Ingolstädter Designer und Entwicklungsingenieure beschäftigt.
    Es ist wirklich der Hammer: Audi plant quasi die Wiederauferstehung des legendären Sport Quattro von 1984.


    Dazu wird jetzt Stück für Stück die heiß diskutierte Quattro Concept Studie von 2011 zu einem Serienmodell umgebaut, das schon in gut zwei Jahren – so lautet die aktuelle Vorgabe – in einer Kleinserien-Produktion starten soll.
    Ein radikaler Sportler, wie es ihn bei Audi noch nie gab, soll es werden.
    Deshalb bleibt kein Stein auf dem anderen.
    Erstens wird die Karosse des 2+2-Sitzers noch viel schärfer und skulpturaler als die der Studie.
    Der Racer, der den A5 als Basis nutzt, ist gut 4,40 Meter lang, rund 1,87 m breit und nur etwa 1,34 m hoch.
    Zweitens soll die Leichtbau-Karosse einen ordentlichen Laderaum bieten.
    Das ganze Auto, das auf einen Materialmix aus kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff (CFK), Aluminium und Magnesium setzt, dürfte nur um die 1300 Kilo wiegen.
    Ein Audi-Manager: „Das wird ein magisches Auto.“


    AUDI QUATTRO CONCEPT: BIS ZU 650 PS IN SICHT


    Permanenter Allradantrieb ist Pflicht, und bei der Power will es Audi auf die Spitze treiben.
    Denn unter der Motorhaube arbeitet nicht der 408 PS starke Fünfzylinder-Turbo aus der Studie, sondern die Antriebseinheit des RS 7.
    Im Klartext: Der 300 km/h schnelle Super-Quattro erhält den 4,0 Liter großen Biturbo-V8, der hier dann sogar bis zu 650 PS abliefern soll (RS 7: 560 PS).
    Und der kann sogar sparen, denn bei geringer bis mittlerer Last und Drehzahl werden die Zylinder 2, 3, 5 und 8 stillgelegt, indem die Ventile über elektro-mechanische Aktoren geschlossen werden.
    Der Sprint von null auf Tempo 100? Wir rechnen mal mit 3,4 Sekunden.


    Zudem soll der Quattro sensationelle Kurvenkünste offerieren – inklusive Sportdifferenzial an der Hinterachse sowie Kohlefaser- Keramik-Bremsscheiben.
    Preislich soll das extreme Coupé (ein Roadster ist nicht geplant) das untere Level des R8 knacken, diskutiert werden rund 115.000 Euro.
    In Relation zum bekannten Sportwagen soll der Quattro mehr Langstreckenkomfort bieten – die adaptive Dämpfung magnetic ride, die die Stoßdämpfer nach Bedarf variiert, ist an Bord.
    Gebaut wird der Audi übrigens in Handarbeit bei der Neckarsulmer Quattro GmbH.
