Joining the festival of excess that is the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, Audi displayed its Audi TT Clubsport Turbo concept. Equipped with a 2.5-liter inline-five, the Clubsport Turbo brings an additional 200 ponies to the engine’s stable courtesy of an electric-assist turbocharger. This 600-hp all-wheel-drive performance coupe can reach 62 mph from a standstill in 3.6 seconds, Audi says, claiming that top speed is 193 mph.
Drawing inspiration from the Audi 90 race car that dominated IMSA GTO competition in 1989, the Clubsport Turbo features massive fender flares that add 5.5 inches to the concept’s overall width. A massive carbon-fiber spoiler is fully adjustable.
Audi also officially revealed a range of Audi Sport parts for its TT RS and R8 V10 models. A TT RS shown in Vegas features Audi Sport parts such as a two-way coil-over suspension, 20-inch wheels, a titanium exhaust system, an Audi Sport steering wheel with carbon-fiber shift paddles, and an overwrought body kit. Other parts available for TT RS owners include a brake cooling kit and additional chassis bracing.
Audi Sport parts for the R8 V10 include 20-inch staggered-width wheels and a body kit that’s said to improve downforce by more than 220 pounds at 205 mph. Audi claims the kit generates nearly 115 pounds of downforce at 93 mph. The company has yet to release pricing or a specific on-sale date, saying only that the parts will be available in 2018.
