<< Prev Page 2 of 2  With its cutting-edge chassis - McPherson wheel suspension with aluminum components at the front and a four-link layout at the rear - the Audi TT quattro sport concept offers sharp, precise race car handling. The stiff setup brings the body closer to the road when compared with the series-production TT. 54 percent of the weight rests on the front axle, 46 percent on the rear. ESC electronic stabilization control, which can be partially or fully deactivated, complements the suspension's sporty character. When cornering, wheel-selective torque control kicks in. If necessary, drive torque is transferred from the wheels on the inside of the bend to those on the outside. Thanks to the distribution of torque, the car turns very slightly into the corner, helping the driver. This allows for precise and neutral cornering and the TT greatly increases its dynamism and stability.A significant part in the Audi TT quattro sport concept's lightweight design is played by the body, which is based on the MQB modular transverse matrix. Its hybrid concept represents the latest evolution of the Audi Space Frame (ASF) and further lowers the car's center of gravity compared with the second-generation series-production TT. The front end is made of steel. The passenger compartment floor comprises high-strength, hot-shaped steel components which, thanks to their extremely high strength, feature very low wall thicknesses and thus weigh accordingly little. The compartment's structure, the entire exterior skin, and the doors and lids are made of the classic Audi semi-finished aluminum products cast node, extruded profile, and sheet metal. The flat Matrix LED headlights and the broad Singleframe grill dominate the study's front end. The grill's striking frame displays the quattro logo and holds the dark diamond-pattern grill. Through their pronounced edges, the substantial air intakes - which also feature diamond-pattern grills - appear almost like inserted airboxes. They thus illustrate a key element in the new Audi TT's design language: elements like the greenhouse and wheel arches create the impression of being individual bodies, thus producing the typical tension. The show car rests on 20-inch wheels with a central locking mechanism and semi-slick tires. A splitter made of carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) stretches toward the front to round off the front end at the bottom and increase the downforce on the front axle. The silhouette of the Audi TT quattro sport concept - which features a paint finish entirely in Crystal White - is athletic and dynamic from every angle. Typical for a TT, the wheel arches form the classic semicircles. They extend 30 millimeters (1.18 in) further than on the series-production car on every side, giving the car's stance on the road a decidedly confident air. They are connected by powerfully accentuated sill trims. Their lower segments are made of CFRP. Together with the splitter and the rear diffuser, which stretch all the way to the wheel arches, they form an aerodynamically effective contour. On the rear, the wide CFRP diffuser that extends beyond the vehicle silhouette underlines the show car's racing character. Delineated by vertical edges, the diffuser surrounds two large, fully circular tailpipes that are located further outward than on the series-production car; large air outlets are positioned on the sides beneath the taillights. A large, fixed wing increases the downforce on the rear of the Audi TT quattro sport concept. The show car interior has been reduced to the essentials, doing away with numerous components that are dispensable on the race circuit. The door panels have been stripped of armrests and speakers - the interior is characterized by Alcantara. A dominant diagonal strip of Alcantara acts as a door pull handle, the door openers feature a filigree design. Low-set racing buckets serve as seats, featuring black four-point seat belts with white accentuating stripes. The luggage compartment offers space for two racing helmets. The same as in the series-production TT, the controls are designed purely for the driver. The Audi TT quattro sport concept's pilot has his hands on a compact steering wheel with a pronounced rim that flattens out at the bottom. The steering wheel's spokes house the red start/stop button alongside the keys and rotary buttons for operating the Audi virtual cockpit. Depending on what the driver sets, the fully digital instrument cluster's 12.3-inch display shows different views. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
