Audi TT Offroad Concept debuts on the Beijing Auto Show
The Audi TT Offroad Concept debuted on the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, looking super speedy in its bright yellow paint and wildly chromed grille . The TT Offroad Concept previews a sporty SUV based on the new Audi TT. Power comes from a plug-in hybrid ‘E-Tron’ drivetrain.
The hybrid system consists of a 2.0 turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 296hp and 380nm, and an electric motor with 117hp and 270hp, making for a combined output of 413hp and 650nm. The Audi TT Offroad Concept is based on the MQB platform.
Whether the Audi TT Offroad Concept will spawn a production car is not sure yet. Audi says in the official press release: “The TT Offroad Concept is a glimpse of how we might imagine a new model in a future TT family”, and that is vague-speak for ‘maybe’. However, an SUV like this would make a lot of sense in the SUV crazy and Audi crazy Chinese car market, especially with its TT DNA, and Audi knows this very well.
