2014 Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept
Four doors, five cylinders, and 525 horsepower: this
is the Audi A3 Clubsport quattro concept, Audi's contribution to the Volkswagen
Group's annual Wörthersee crazy-fest in Austria.
The new Audi S3 is no slouch, putting
out nearly 300 horsepower from its turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI four. But this
concept gets the 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine featured in the outgoing TT RS
and RS Q3 hot crossover.
How much power are we talking here? 525 horsepower
and 443 pound-feet of torque. Yeah, that'll do. Audi says the Clubsport quattro will do zero to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds and can't stop, won't stop until it hits a top speed of 192 mph.
Other goodies include a seven-speed S-Tronic dual
clutch gearbox, quattro all-wheel drive, obviously, an adjustable suspension,
various interior tweaks, and a unique aero kit with a carbon fiber "blade"
up front.
