Audi has had a fantastic year so far, and they have led the way when it comes to new technology and fancy concepts. Their latest concept however, will blow you away. The concept study is based on the S3 Sedan and has a five-cylinder TFSI engine under the hood producing 525bhp. Based on the S3 Sedan, the show car is equipped with a powerful five-cylinder TFSI engine. The turbocharged engine with direct injection in the show car boasts an impressive success story. Since 2010, an expert jury has already voted it “International Engine of the Year” in its category four times in succession. The 2.5 TFSI powers the production Audi RS Q3. In the show car, the 2,480 cc five-cylinder produces 525bhp for a specific output of 211.7bhp per liter. With a total weight of 1,527 kilograms, this corresponds to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.9 kilograms/bhp. Maximum torque of 600Nm is available between 2,300 and 6,000rpm. The Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept accelerates from 0 to 100 kmph in only 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 310 km/h. Extensive modifications make this extreme performance possible. These include a large turbocharger with up to 1.5 bar of relative boost pressure and a modified intercooler. The car also looks amazing and the spectacular appearance of the Magnetic Blue body immediately reveals the dynamics of the Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept. The single frame grille up front is framed in matt aluminum. A quattro badge adorns the grille’s high-gloss black honeycomb insert, which has been optimized for high flow. The engine hood, whose front edge extends slightly over the grille and the LED headlights, sports the four rings. We like the direction that Audi is heading in.
