OFFICIAL: Audi TT Clubsport Quattro Revealed

The cat is out the
bag – Audi has officially revealed the production TT Clubsport Quattro
after a series of spy shots have plagued the internet for the last
week. We thought there was little chance of the concept version ever
spawning what you see before you, but we have no problem with being
proved wrong on this occasion. For those of you looking to get a good
glimpse of it for yourselves, it will have its worldwide debut at the
Wörthersee Tour, the big meet for Audi and VW enthusiasts in Austria
from May 21^st.




Surely the most eye catching element of
this car is the open cockpit with the low windscreen featuring the
almost none existent A-pillars creating a nice curvaceous effect round
to the side windows. The high rising roll bars behind the seats make up
for the low A-pillars meaning the occupants are still protected should
the vehicle roll over.




The front fascia styling continues the
Audi tradition with a single-frame grill and as with all new Audi
models, the headlights get LED-daytime running lights, to complete the
front look of this special model we see it gets those huge air inlets
covered by horizontally split black grills and a low spolier lip to
optimise downforce and increase the driving dynamics of the car. Smooth
design lines across the side panels to the rear of the vehicle along
with the impressive 19'' wheels continue the Purism at a premium level theme.




Audi can be credited with some of the
best interiors in the business and once again they fail to disappoint
with an effective use of aluminium along with sport bucket seats and a
flat-bottomed sports steering wheel derived from the regular TT.






Under the hood we find the 2.0-liter
turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine which pumps out over 300
horsepower mated to the S tronic duel clutch transmission which is then
passed to the wheels via the Quattro 4WD system. A powerful brake
system borrowed from the TTS completes the model.




Earlier today we reported an Audi
official had confirmed the production of the extravagant concept with a
limited production run of between 50 and 100 units although the words
in this press release only state that they would not rule out
production.
