The TT Quattro Sport is impressive in a number of ways. First is what lies under a hood — the production TT’s 4-cylinder 2.0-liter TFSI engine, which has been uprated to produce 414 horsepower (420 PS) at 6,700 rpm and 450 Nm (331 lb-ft) of torque available between 2,400 and 6,300 rpm. The unit weighs only 150 kg (330 lbs) and offers 210 hp per liter of displacement, more than that of the 2001 Le Mans-winner R18.
Also impressive is the car’s 1,344 kg (2,963 lbs) curb weight, which when teamed with its powerful engine, quick S tronic dual-clutch gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive system, allows it to sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in only 3.7 seconds. A massive rear wing helps optimize downforce, while the suspension has been lowered and features tweaked electronic nannies for superior handling.
Highlights of show car’s modified body include a carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) spoiler package, a redesigned front grille, 30 millimeters (1.18 in) wider wheel arches filled with 20-inch alloys shod in semi-slick tires, and two large circular exhausts.
Inside, Audi removed all non-essential luxury components, such as the speakers and armrests, and added Alcantara bucket seats and pull handles. The fully-digital, 12.3-inch instrument cluster display remains, however.
Audi didn’t reveal any plans for a production Audi TT Quattro Sport, but if produced, the car will not replace the RS. It will instead serve as the brand’s version of the Porsche 911 GT3
