Audi will be presenting the A3 clubsport quattro concept at the 2014 Wörthersee Meeting in Reifnitz (Kärnten). The concept study is based on the S3 Sedan and has a five-cylinder TFSI engine under the hood producing 386 kW (525 hp).

"The Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept shows our car and tuning fans at the Wörthersee just how much sporty potential there is in the A3 family and in our top-of-the-line engines such as the 2.5 TFSI. We have pushed the limits in every respect with this show car: power, dynamics, sound, design," says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development.

Based on the S3 Sedan, the show car is equipped with a powerful five-cylinder TFSI engine. The turbocharged engine with direct injection in the show car boasts an impressive success story. Since 2010, an expert jury has already voted it "International Engine of the Year" in its category four times in succession. The 2.5 TFSI powers the production Audi RS Q3. In the show car, the 2,480 cc five-cylinder produces 386 kW (525 hp) for a specific output of 155.6 kW (211.7 hp) per liter. With a total weight of 1,527 kilograms (3,366.5 lb), this corresponds to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.9 kilograms (6.4 lb)/hp. Maximum torque of 600 Nm (442.5 lb-ft) is available between 2,300 and 6,000 rpm. The Audi A3 clubsport quattro concept accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 310 km/h (192.6 mph).

It's been a while since Audi released a concept that has left me in utter shock. This is pure madness! Gives me hope that they aren't ready to scrap that engine quite just yet.
 
^^ Yep, the copycat kings at work.

Forget the Panamera Turbo S or M5. This is the ultimate performance sedan: Tight body, sexy lines and a big engine.

...OR the RS6, RS4, RS5, R8 V8, RS7, S8....
In other words, it will make every other performance Audi completely and utterly obsolete. Reason enough not to make it.

The car is absolutely sick in every way. Wake me up when something remotely similar officially launches.
 
RS3 for sure. Stunning vehicle.

My thinking as well, we are looking at the RS3 styling though will be slightly toned down for production. The one encouraging thing I took from this concept is that Audi haven't dumped the 5cyl, instead they are showing the potential possible.
 
Just noticed the Audi rings on rear passenger doors. Sometimes it's the little things that just make you love everything about a car.

Liking the modern interpretation of the 'box flares' too.
 
That frontend view is sick, when you look in the rear view mirror there's few cars which say 'move the f**k out of the way' like this does and this actually has the performance to back up that statement.
 
I can't praise enough the interior of the A3 (and new TT), I simply love them. Can't wait to see what Audi is preparing for the A4.
 

Audi

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
