Audi continues the ‘tradition’ of previewing an upcoming Audi TT in the term of a shooting brake. Just like how the current generation Audi TT was previewed in the form of the Audi Shooting Brake concept at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show, the third generation Audi TT has been ‘disguised’ in the form of this Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept, due for debut at Detroit 2014.
The front end features the latest Audi trapezoidal grille flanked by Audi matrix LED headlamps, and although the car has a ‘wagon’-style rear, the shape and the tail lamps are classic Audi TT. We wonder if the shooting brake body style and the offroader styling could spawn some kind of TT variant though, but it’s worth noting that while the second generation TT was previewed with a funky bodystyle as well, it was never productionised.
The interior should be very familiar too – the TT’s interior has already been previewed at CES and it looks very similiar to the one in this concept. While the concept’s interior will fit four people without an issue, a production Audi TT’s roofline won’t allow such comfort for the rear passengers.
The concept car has a 2,510mm wheelbase, and measures 4,200mm long, 1,850mm wide and 1,410mm tall. That’s an increase in wheelbase length over the second generation’s 2,468mm wheelbase.
Under the hood is a plug-in hybrid drive system with a combined system output of 408 horsepower and 650Nm. The 1,600kg show car will launch to 100km/h in just 4.6 seconds, on to an electronically limited top speed of 250km/h. The hybrid system consists of a 292 horsepower 380 Nm 2.0 TFSI engine mated to a disc-shaped electric motor with 54 hp and 270Nm of output. The motor is integrated within a six-speed e-S tronic dual clutch transmission.
The rear axle has another electric motor, with a 114 hp and 270 Nm output. This allows e-tron quattro capability. The motors are powered via a 8.8 kWh liquid cooled lithium ion battery mounted just forward of the rear axle, allowing for 50km of pure electric driving.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
the design is ok, but too simple and plain
Understated elegance is not for everyone… ;-)
Why all Audi look same? They should fire all the lazy copy paste designers! No creativity at all!
Complete design change is only required when sales are drastically dropping…why fix something thats not broken doesn’t make sense…they have one of the best designs…if your cant afford one should not complain. .if you can afford one you know what suits you best the market is very open
Not so agree in somehow.
When audi maintenance current design.
Other car maker such as benz,bmw.. will design even better. more trendy.
When that time audi realize they are outdated then only start to design. It’s will be too late.
So Audi is moving backward like Toyota!
Kekekekekekeke
Toyota, moving forward unlike audi
is this audi answer for range rover evoque?
No…its just a preview of the next TT
where is the mmi screen? i can see the controller…not the screen; unless it is integrated to the speedomete.
I would rather buy the ulgy BMW 1 series or Audi A1 than this even uglier TT 3rd gen. Or my last choice is to buy a Hilux with Sam Loo’s Head as spare tyre.
if u view 2015 audi TT interior. look at the console and dashboard area.
And, if the tax exemption on hybrids is extended, it could cost only half the price of the present model…
OMG, so fugley looking car!
This is the laziest copy job to con people!
Seems like every manufactuer MUST have a car name ‘Shooting Brake’. really running out of names.
I guess the designers are moving around all the current manufactuers (changes jobs in short), so the cars designs we will be seeing are all about the same very soon.
Time to change the design of audi cars..make it funkier
the interior is fantastic
thats the best round aircond vent i’ve ever seen
and the speedo meter is awesome very futuristic
i cant wait for how the new Audi R8 interior will look like.. I was planning to get a recond R8 as a weekend car now looking at this interior i can imagine how much better the new audi r8 interior going to be!
Got the Audi TT Mk II because of the beautiful coupe design and performance. If this Shooting Brake concept is the replacement, it’s truly a disappointment. This is not a coupe but a hatchback or compact crossover! What were the Audi designers thinking about?! The Audi Sport concept would be a more appropriate replacement. Overall Audi designs have deteriorated since Peter Shreyer left for Kia. The interior is beautiful though as shown during the Detroit Motor Show. But will I get it to replace my TT? NO!!!
