Audi’s latest concept car takes advantage of electric turbocharging to create serious power in a small package.

By using an electric turbocharging system, the Audi TT Clubsport Turbo Technology Concept boasts 600 HP and 479 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough to carry it from 0-60 MPH in 3.6 seconds to a top speed of 192.6 MPH and all from a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine.

“In our TDI engines, we are close to production readiness with this technology. We are now presenting it in a TFSI – here too, we are the first automaker in the world to do this. Audi technical development boss Ulrich Hackenberg said today at the Wörthersee Tour in Reifnitz, Austria.

As I noted on your site, looks like what the R4 was to be. I like it - I have cash for one, just like in the pics - unless and/or until I find my R8. They should build it and soon - and Scott signs up to bring it here (U.S.)...just hope it can get here for less than $100K.

I'd imagine that it'll be priced in line with a comparable Porsche, a great way to gauge its MSRP.

600 hp is a pretty powerful car. And it looks great too, though I would like to the the 4 rings on the grille rather than the hood.

Do you really think it will be under $100k? It must be approaching that if it does end up under it.

I agree with having the 4 rings on the grille, it'll look cleaner and add some life to it. At least it makes the whole process of debadging (if someone wants to do that), an easy one.
