Audi TT Clubsport Quattro: Pre-Production Model Revealed

This is Audi’s second iteration of the sporty TT Clubsport Quattro model that we first saw at last year’s Wörthersee Tour in Austria and from the looks of it, this is the actual model that will enter a small series production in the second half of the year. Just like the first TT Clubsport Quattro, this one too was unveiled at the Audi and VW enthusiast event “Wörthersee Tour” that takes place in Austria from May 21 to 25.

Compared to last year’s concept, the roofless TT Clubsport Quattro has obtained a bigger windshield with thicker A-pillars, production-like mirrors, a slightly redesigned rear-bumper that houses what looks to be a fog light and larger safety bars. Inside, Audi’s designers removed the aluminum trim from the steering wheel (for safety reasons) which now hosts stereo controls while they also replaced the pedals and the S-Tronic gearbox with production parts. -Continued

Other than that, there are no differences with last year’s prototype with the relatively extreme TT Clubsport Quattro featuring a supped up version of Audi’s 2.0 TFSI engine that breaks the 300 Hp barrier combined with the dual-clutch S-Tronic gearbox and a permanent all-wheel drive system.

The track was widened by 66 millimeters (2.60 inches) versus the production TT while stopping power is provided from the brake system from the new Audi TTS. Its ventilated discs measure 340 millimeters (13.39 inches) up front and 310 millimeters (12.20 inches) at the rear.
