Audi is presenting the Audi TT off-road concept (four-door model) at the Beijing International Automobile Exhibition. Its plug-in hybrid drive with two electric motors and a system output of 408 hp provides for dynamic performance, yet consumes on average just 1.9 liters of fuel per 100km, says a company report.
“The Audi TT off-road concept provides a glimpse of how we might imagine a new model in the future TT family,” says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development. “It combines the sporty genes of the TT with the strengths of a compact Audi SUV. Its plug-in hybrid drive with the option of inductive charging is a major step toward the mobility of the future. We chose to present the Audi TT off-road concept in China, our second domestic market, because it represents the urban mobility of tomorrow: It is sustainable, dynamic, intelligent and connected,” he added.
The plug-in hybrid drive in the Audi TT off-road concept delivers 408 hp of system output and 650 Nm of system torque. The show car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds and reaches the electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h without any trouble. The Audi TT off-road concept can drive over 50km solely on electric power and thus with zero local emissions, and has a total range of up to 880km.
The combustion engine is a 2.0 TFSI producing 292 hp and 380 Nm of torque. The two-liter, four-cylinder unit with the large turbocharger is packed with Audi's potent efficiency technology. At part load, indirect injection supplements gasoline direct injection for lower fuel consumption. The exhaust manifold is integrated into the cylinder head – the foundation for the high-performance thermal management system.
