Audi has unveiled its latest addition to the TT range, which will be the German car brand’s model in a five door version, at the Paris Motor Show.
The exterior of the car shows a more elongated and wider design driven by a 2.0 TFSI engine that delivers 294 kW (400 hp).
The Audi TT Sportback concept has been fitted with a seven-speed S tronic to the quattro permanent all wheel drive. It achieves 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.
A spokesperson for Audi told AutoTalk that Audi is preparing to launch a number of models in 2015, but that the TT Sportback has no release date in Australia as it still is in early concept stages.
“The TT Sportback is a concept car – there is no official confirmation of production at this time. However , the new Audi TT Coupe will arrive in Q1, 2015, the TTS Coupe arrives Q2, 2015 and the TT Roadster will arrive in the second half of 2015,” the spokesperson says.
The Audi virtual cockpit comes with a 12.3 inch screen replacing the conventional instruments and the MMI monitor, and enables the driver to choose between multiple display levels. In the MMI terminal, the rotary push-button features a touchpad that is used to enter characters and gestures as with a smartphone.
The five-door concept is 4.47 metres long, 1.89 metres wide, and 1.38 metres high, featuring a wheelbase of 2.63 metres. Compared with the new production TT, it is 29cm longer, 6cm wider and has a 12cm larger wheelbase; its height is 3cm less than that of the new TT.
The front of the Audi TT Sportback concept has another characteristic feature in the form of the large air inlets. The rear of the Audi TT Sportback concept is also focused and sculptural, with five horizontal lines emphasising its width.
The large wheels have a 21-inch diameter and a tyre format of 255/30. The four brake discs in 18-inch format feature a weight-saving wave design.
