Audi adds fire elderly trёhdverke A3
Audi A3 TDI clubsport quattro Concept ... can be confusing! With the abbreviation TDI everything is clear: the Hatch - diesel. The term clubsport quattro is familiar to us on the roof of TT with cropped - in it a hint of motorsports and pokatushki during track days. A Concept - the status of truthfulness: this car on the track hardly ever see. But what have the eights on the board? Yes, just look at a year in the calendar!
Concept cars Audi has always distinguished restraint, but here the designers have come off in full: the car such an aggressive body kit that even R8 next STTS. Do not stingy either exhaust or the spoilers and diffusers. And broke his head in what color to paint the car - red or white - in the end decided to paint both. The interior is lavishly decorated and aluminum parts from the Audi R8: here and bevelled wheel start button on the right spoke and the lever "mechanics" with the characteristic side scene ... But there are unique details like carved handles on the doors.
These pipes - all the trumpets. Wing against this background looks very modest.
The car turned out no easy - 1475 kg. But before hundreds of such all-wheel drive "treshka" should be dispersed for 6, 6 seconds. Because the two-liter diesel engine (140 or 170 forces "in the civilian world") here produces 224 hp and unattainable for gasoline "fours" 450 Newton meters torque, already available from 1750 rev / min. All thanks to the increased up to 1800 bar pressure in the fuel system, a new turbocharger and something else what completions. Maximum speed - 240 km / h. At the same time the Germans have managed more and Euro-5 standards to meet. And on the road no one would guess that the diesel engine under the hood - the sound of the exhaust particularly worked, and they say, has turned lush and beautiful.
Okay, dispersed the "three-ruble note" - and she is able to slow down? A turning? Firstly, at the front of the concept - six-piston brake calipers and a karbonokeramicheskimi disc diameter 356 mm! The price list Audi is better not to look, if we were talking about the serial "three rubles", such an option would have pulled polmashiny. But based on the concept of sport is more important that these discs live up to 300 thousand kilometers.
Arch extensions, bolted to the body with bolts, should be reminded of the sport - such an expensive and dangerous.
Second, the suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers Magnetic Ride borrowed from the TT - and underestimated by 36 mm. Track extended (by 34 mm front and 46 - in the back), and wheels shod in tires crazy dimension - 265/35 ZR20. It is not known how briskness and stability at high speeds "supertrёshke" does not hold. They say that while she was even comfortable.
Inside - a full range of sports paraphernalia, but all the elements of comfort on the spot.
And smoothness, and the sensitivity of the shock absorbers, and tolerance of ESP, and performance of the power steering, and even the volume of the exhaust - all governed by a selector on the steering wheel a la The lever of the latest Ferrari. This decision has been marred by diesel concept Audi R8, so that it is possible, we will find a toy in the new models of Audi.
The fact that the Roadster TT clubsport quattro with a souped-up engine power to 300 go to the series, few believed. However, Well there you are - the other day the spies caught a preproduction prototype tests.
Hatchback A3 clubsport not be among them - this is only a concept. Although about the same name "teteshku" also said so, but on a minute - goes itself. All the more so before the release of a new "treshki" has not less than one year, and threatened to fill in the Audi lineup lightweight sports version. It is necessary to sell the "veterans".
