At the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, Audi took the covers off an all-new show car called the Audi TT offroad concept. It’s an enigmatic jumble of the Audi TT’s name, the jacked-up stance of the A6 Allroad, and the “offroad” title thrown in for good measure. Add to that the fact Audi are calling it an “all-new sports car” – while simultaneously saying it has the utility of a compact SUV – and you can see why it’s so confusing. It seems that with the Audi TT offroad concept the company are trying to cover every conceivable category of vehicle with just one car.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, one of the top dogs of Audi Technical Development was a little clearer on the concept’s role, stating that it was: “A glimpse of how we might imagine a new model in a future TT family”. If that’s true, then the Audi TT offroad concept is more than likely a preview of a four-door version of the TT – forget the increased ride height and ruggedized wheel arch extensions, they’re just for the show car.
Powering the Audi TT offroad concept is a plug-in rechargeable hybrid drivetrain which produces an impressive 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. With that, the concept is able to accelerate from 0-62 mph (100km/h) in 5.2 seconds, and continue on until the electronic limiter kicks in a 155 mph. In addition the concept can travel for up to 30 miles (50 km) on electric power alone.
The hybrid drive of the Audi TT offroad concept consists of a 2.0 litre turbocharged gasoline engine paired with a 40 kW electric motor which is integrated into the six-speed e-S tronic transmission. A second more powerful 85 kW electric motor provides additional power to the rear wheels. The concept has been engineered to work with Audi’s wireless charging system which recharges the batteries using contactless inductive charging.

The interior of the Audi TT offroad concept offers space for four adults. The styling was inspired, and is familiar to the new generation TT model, however there are also connections with the Q-line of SUV models. The concept also features the company’s new Audi virtual cockpit 12.3-inch TFT instrument display.
