Audi quattro concept

The Audi quattro concept is a concept car that Audi presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2010 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original Audi Quattro and of the quattro four wheel drive system. It is based on the Audi RS5 with a wheelbase shortened by 150 mm, and its styling reinterprets the short wheelbase Audi Sport Quattro. A turbocharged 2.5 litre five cylinder TFSI engine produces 408 PS (300 kW) and drives all four wheels through a six speed manual gearbox and a new generation of the quattro system. The body is built from aluminium with the Audi Space Frame technology and extra carbon fibre parts, and the car weighs 1,300 kg. Audi reportedly considered a limited run of 200 to 500 cars, but the project was shelved in 2012. Elements of its design reached the third generation Audi TT and the second generation Audi R8, and its combined instrument and infotainment display later appeared as the virtual cockpit.
