the 525 horsepower AUDI A3 clubsport quattro concept

ahead of the wörthersee tour in the austrian alps, AUDI presented their latest performance concept – the A3 clubsport quattro. based on the S3 sedan, the four-door sports car replaces its 2.0 liter TFSI engine with a five-cylinder turbocharged power unit, which produces 525 horsepower and a maximum 442.5 lb‑ft of torque. the AUDI A3 clubsport quattro concept hits 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 310 km/h (193 mph). like the AUDI sport quattro, the show car boasts matrix LED headlights and a single-frame grille up front, framed in a matte aluminum finish. sporting details include 21‑inch wheels, wide carbon fiber-reinforced polymer diffuser and completely reconfigured and lowered suspension system.
