German automaker Audi has unveiled its new crossover concept car, Audi allroad shooting brake, at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
Audi allroad shooting brake is a two-door show car with the combination of allroad and e-tron concepts.
It is equipped with transverse mounted 2L four-cylinder engine with a large turbocharger. The 2.0 TFSI in the Audi allroad shooting brake offers 215kW (292 hp) of power and generates 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque.
The new model operates together with a disc-shaped electric motor via a decoupling clutch; the electric motor outputs 40 kW of power and 270 Nm (199.14 lb-ft) of torque.
It is integrated in the six-speed e-S tronic. The dual clutch transmission sends torque to the front wheels.
The car also features a second electric motor mounted to the rear axle. It supplies propulsive power at low and moderate vehicle speeds with its maximum power of 85 kW and 270 Nm (199.14 lb-ft) of torque.
It can also be operated in tandem with the motor and engine at the front axle if the hybrid management system decides that all-wheel drive makes sense.
The car includes a lithium-ion battery with eight modules. It balances the distribution of weight. The liquid-cooled battery has an energy capacity of 8.8 kWh of all-electric driving.
Drive select management system of the car offers three driving modes - EV mode, Hybrid mode and Sport mode.
Audi technical development board member Ulrich Hackenberg said: "The show car combines sex appeal, highly efficient e-tron-quattro technology that produces 300 kW of power yet only consumes 1.9 l/100 km (123.80 US mpg) of fuel and cutting-edge electronic applications."
