Manufacturer Press Release
|
Audi proudly unveiled
the allroad quattro concept at the 2005 North American International
Automobile Show in Detroit. This unique crossover was developed
especially for this presentation at the most important car show in the
USA - indeed an appropriate highlight entering the 25th anniversary of
quattro drive. At the same time this concept car serves as a spearhead
in technology demonstrating innovative electronic systems destined to
enter series production in just a few years.
Through its design alone, the Audi allroad quattro concept clearly
demonstrates its versatility: The elegant sporting character of the Audi
Avant is visibly linked to the functional elements of an off-roader,
creating a vehicle just as much at home on the highway as on a snowbound
mountain track.
The visual appearance of the allroad quattro concept measuring 4.93
meters in length and 1.89 meters in width provides a perfect match for
the many new highlights in technology it has to offer. Features quite
natural on an Audi of this caliber are the powerful engine, permanent
quattro all-wheel drive, and highly advanced suspension, simply perfect
both for excellent ride comfort at high speeds and for supreme dynamic
performance both on-road and off-road.
A brand-new power unit is all set for action within the engine bay:
Displacing four liters, the V8 TDI boasting common rail fuel injection
and piezo injectors is the world's most powerful and advanced
eight-cylinder self-ignition engine. Maximum output of 210 kW (286 bhp)
and peak torque of 650 Newton meters ensure the muscle and performance
of a thoroughbred sports car: Featuring six-speed automatic
transmission, the allroad quattro concept accelerates to 100 km/h in
just 6.4 seconds, with top speed limited electronically to 250 km/h. And
fitted with a particle filter, the allroad quattro concept is the first
eight-cylinder TDI to outperform the strict EU 4 European emission
standard.
Audi's permanent quattro all-wheel drive featuring a torsen centre
differential conveys the power of the engine to all four wheels both
on-road and off-road, ensuring maximum traction and lateral stability at
all times as essential prerequisites for the very best in driving
dynamics and motoring safety.
This drive concept has become increasingly successful over the years
ever since the first Audi quattro all-wheel-drive came off the
production line 25 years ago: No less than 1.8 million production Audi
cars have been equipped with this technology in the meantime, not to
mention countless victories on the racetrack and in rallies attributable
to this supreme drive system.
The chassis and suspension of the Audi allroad quattro concept also
offer genuine all-round qualities: Adaptive air suspension, a
combination of air suspension and electronically controlled dampers,
offers a perfect synthesis of dynamic handling and supreme suspension
comfort. Variable ground clearance adjustable from 160 to 210
millimeters enables the Audi allroad quattro concept to take even rough
terrain without problems.
High-tech is the name of the game not only when it comes to the dynamic
talents of the Audi allroad quattro concept. High technology in this
cutting-edge vehicle goes a lot further, boasting several innovative
driver assistance systems which Audi is now presenting for the first
time and which will go into regular production in just a few years'
time.
An outstanding world-first achievement is Audi road vision, an optical
sensor system able to recognize the condition of the road and its
surface, thus providing a quantum leap in terms of driving safety: The
system not only informs the driver on potentially critical conditions
such as gravel or black ice, but also gives the ESP electronic
stabilization program and the adaptive cruise control additional,
crucial parameters for even better proactive control.
Audi lane assist, a further feature of the concept car, induces
vibrations on the steering wheel to inform the driver as soon as he
inadvertently leaves his lane. Audi side assist, in turn, incorporates
radar sensors monitoring the area behind and next to the car. So once
the system detects vehicles approaching the Audi allroad quattro concept
or driving in the car's blind angle, the driver is informed accordingly
by a warning light coming on in the exterior mirror on the appropriate
side.
