Audi has officially unleashed the Allroad Shooting Brake which hints at the design of the upcoming third-generation TT.

Powerful and efficient hybrid drive features two electric motors

The concept comes equipped with a transverse-mounted 4-cylinder, 2.0-litre TFSI turbocharged engine producing 215 kW of power and 380 Nm of torque.

The engine works together with a disc-shaped electric motor which adds an extra 40 kW and 270 Nm and has been integrated within the e-S tonic six-speed gearbox. There also a second electric motor installed on the rear axle which offers 85 kW and 270 Nm. Combined output is 300 kW with 650 Nm of torque.

The 2014 Audi Allroad Shooting Brake concept completes the 0-100 km/h dash in 4.6 seconds before hitting an electronically-limited speed of 250 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 1.9 litres/100 km with CO2 emissions of 45 g/km while the maximum range is of 820 km.

Dynamic design features

The concept presented in an Ice Blue finish marks the first time the German automaker has combined the Allroad and e-tron languages together. With a 2510mm wheelbase, the2014 Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept is 4200mm long, 1850mm wide and 1410mm tall, and is at at a rather hefty 1600 kg and its body is made from a combination between aluminium and carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP).

Designed as a crossover, the 2014 Audi Allroad Shooting Brake Concept features a prominent grille flanked by distinctive headlights. It also has large wheel flares, aluminium inlays in the angular sill add-ons, large lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels with CFRP rims, a tailgate-mounted spoiler and a dual exhaust system. The open roof spoiler further accentuates the design while the third brake light, implemented as a flat light conductor, elegantly complements the rear design.

The interior closely mimics that of the TT as it features a digital instrument cluster, circular air vents, anthracite and rock grey accents, a sporty multi-function steering wheel, alloy pedals and the new MMI controller. The sporty seats are equipped with highly contoured lateral panels and integrated head restraints. There’s also appearances of leather and bright/dark aluminium materials used on the controls and trim.

Audi hopes the Allroad Shooting Brake will attract young, sporty and active people that will embrace its versatility and functionality. It is currently on show at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
