Audi Built Up A 525bhp A3 clubsport Quattro
- 10 years ago
One-off, 310kph clubsport Quattro sedan is faster than an RS6. Wait, what?
There was never any doubt as to the calibre and sheer tunability of Audi's 5-cylinder 2.5 liter engine -- the one found in the last-gen RS3 and TT RS.
But...525bhp? Yep, that just happened: meet the Audi A3 clubsport Quattro. No capital letter, much fastness.
It's a one-off concept designed for the forthcoming annual Worthersee Meeting, an event that allows Skoda, Audi and Volkswagen unfettered access to the most tweaked VAG Group cars on earth.
Because 0-100kph takes just 3.6 seconds, and it'll top out at 310kph. That's... pretty fast. The monster engine comes complete with a seven-speed S-tronic automatic transmission with, helpfully, a taller 7th gear 'for better fuel consumption'. Yep. There's also a launch control function, which may be rather more relevant.
It's certainly an unthinkingly-fast A3, but is it the wackiest Worthersee show car you've ever seen? Only time will tell?
