You also get a leather sports steering wheel and illuminated door sills. It gets a more discreet rear spoiler. The suspension provides the optimum damping force for each damper within milliseconds — low for hard bumps; high to brace the body during fast cornering or when braking. The throttle, engine, steering, gearbox and suspension can all be firmed up. I told them I didn't want filler everywhere.
Virtues that are also reflected in the design. In terms of styling, both models have 10mm wider wheel arches the track remains unchanged , a customised front grille with a single-frame design and sculpted air intakes in the redesigned front bumper. That provides the advantage of slightly better agility, due to a lower center of gravity. The performance figures for the compact engines are compelling: five-cylinder, 294 kW 400 hp power output, 480 Nm 354. So tighter corners require less steering input at higher speeds. Dipping into the options list allows you to increase the wheel size to 21 inches, and add ceramic brakes and adaptive suspension parts.

The rear design also appears very powerful. The big wheels are needed to accommodate uprated brakes with six-piston calipers biting down onto 375mm drilled and ventilated discs up front, while at the back you get 310mm ventilated discs. The luggage compartment holds 530 liters 18. In the short warm-up phase after a cold start, the switchable water pump does not circulate the coolant in the cylinder head — the 2. And the Sportback version has active exhaust valving too, which adds a few notes of five-cylinder burble when required. It will run 0-60mph in 4. Wheels options are generous, including a new 21-inch design which has a striking flow-spoke configuration.
This lowers the coefficient of friction and reduces fuel consumption. Those numbers translate to 0-100kph in 4. The engine can be started using the optional start-stop button with its red ring. In the rear, the four-link design provides a track width of 1,583 millimeters 5. At less than 50 centimeters 19.
Zero to 62mph takes 4. It is powered by the latest evolution of Audi's 2. This translates to both cars completing the 0-100kph sprint in just 4. However, this is a welcome aspect in that you can tweak settings at a red light instead of hunting through menus feverishly. It was Morbidelli that spent the majority of the session on top, a 1m59. That said, fuel economy is unlikely to better 30mpg.
Want to make your car feel sportier? For the first time, the interior can also be finished entirely in black. They can also be swapped for fade-resistant ceramic discs 380mm front, 310mm at the back. In front, the braking power is generated by newly developed monoblock aluminum calipers and ceramic brake disks that are 380 millimeters 15. The emphasis on the horizontal lines conveys a generous sense of space. The crankshaft is hollow bored and is therefore 1 kg 2. Elaborate measures reduce internal friction while at the same time increasing power output.
At the rear, floating calipers and steel disks measuring 310 mm 12. Choosing this pack also gets your gear shifter and steering wheel finished in Alcantara and, if you really want, you can have the inner doors covered in red or blue Alcantara. As an option, the driver can choose the larger Audi virtual cockpit plus with shift light display that prompts the driver to upshift when the maximum engine speed is reached. The power from the five-cylinder engine flows via a to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive that distributes the power as needed between the axles via a multi-plate clutch. Since the original Sport Quattro, five-cylinder powerplants have been synonymous with. For help with your maintenance and repair projects, please visit our section in the forum.

A new roof is 1. The low-slung roof line culminates in strong, flat sloping D-pillars. However, this is a welcome aspect in that you can tweak settings at a red light instead of hunting through menus feverishly. Then the brake pads as yours. There are also a number of Audi Sport-exclusive options on the Drive Select and infotainment system. The dynamic handling system influences the quattro drive and other components such as steering, suspension, S tronic, engine characteristic and sound.
