600 horsepower Audi TT created for Wörthersee

This month’s Wörthersee GTI Treffen will see the public debut of Audi’s TT clubsport turbo concept.

A prominent manually-adjustable rear wing, seven-spoke 20” wheels and widened arches provide a purposeful, track-inspired look. However, this car’s most significant innovation lies beneath its bonnet.

The engine, a 2.5 litre five-cylinder unit, has been equipped with two turbochargers. One is conventionally driven by exhaust gases, but the other is electrically powered.

For the latter, a dedicated lithium-ion battery and 48-volt sub-system are fitted. Its presence is intended to deliver an instantaneous throttle response right across the rev range by virtually eliminating turbo lag.

The result is 591 bhp (441 kW / 600 PS) with 650 Nm (479 lb/ft) of peak torque, which is sent to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission.

Combined with an unladen weight of 1,396 kg (3,078 lbs), the TT clubsport turbo is able to accelerate from rest to 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 3.6 seconds. Top speed meanwhile is 192 mph (310 km/h).

Carbon-ceramic brake discs, a coilover suspension set-up, torque vectoring and Matrix LED headlights are also part of the specification. On the inside, bucket seats, four-point harnesses and a titanium roll cage reinforce the race-car vibe.
