Audi is unveiling a new highlight in the sporty compact segment at the Tokyo Motor Show: the Shooting Brake Concept is a study vehicle offering a further trailblazing interpretation of Audi's current formal idiom, blending the powerful dynamism of a sports car with a new sense of spaciousness and greater functionality. With its powerful 250 bhp, 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine and quattro permanent four-wheel drive, the Shooting Brake Concept produces a quality of road behaviour that in every respect lives up to its visual impact. The study vehicle sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.0 seconds, and its top speed is electronically governed at 250 km/h.

People should keep in mind that this is just a concept. Audi's feedback on the A3 Sportback was really well responded to... So they decided to apply it to a Audi TT to get the publics feedback. So far the response from existing Audi TT owners hasn't been good. Overall I would expect the next TT to look like this concept (Shooting Brake Concept) minus the hatch... Imagine this car with the Audi TT fastback hatch and I think we have the next TT... Personally I think it'll be nice looking... we'll see how the public reacts though.Edit:
So I just heard that it would be a additional body style to the Coupe and Roaster. Interesting considering here in the States the A3 Sportback isn't selling that great compared to other models (A4 and A6). Time will tell

shooting brake = flying spur

Call me ... whatever but I see a very nice ford focus. If focus didn't exist this would be a great looking car.

Look at the tails, flares, and hood (where it cuts into the wheel arch).This is your new TT people. Just picture it in roadster or coupe form, and there it is. Me likey!
#8
If you make it, I will get it.Although if i can make 1 suggestion .. put a 3.6 Liter motor in there instead.
#9
i don't see much of the focus in it. i COULD imagine this car with a lexus badge though. if it was a concept car without any badges, i would've think it's a lexus concept.

Yes please! An AWD version of BMW's M-Coupe sounds sweet to me.

Looks great. Heck, I'd even consider the Shooting Brake body style (but I love the M-Clownshoe too.)

Maybe, because the A3 is only available in the four door in NorAm, and because it is virtually the same price as the equivalently equipped A4, and because it is a lot more money than a Mk V dub.
Doesn't Audi sell more 3 door A3s worldwide than 4 doors? If so, why does VWAG insist on forcing the less desireable on us here in NorAm?
I'd buy a 3 door Sportback if they offered it here. But, I'll continue to drive my 24V GTI until the next TT or next R36 arrive. If the next TT has a sunroof, I'll probably get it. But, I know the Mk V R36 will do and have everything I want, or need, in a car. So, the worst I can do is a Mk V R36, and that's pretty darn good.
But, if Audi had a 3.2 or 3.6 quattro 3 door Sportback in NorAm, I'd already have it, and this would be a moot point to me. While VoA will most likely sell me my next car, they could have already done so if they just brought over what they make for the rest of the world.

man i love that car. i'd rock it in a heartbeat. looks like they took,
added some of this
and dropped some of this in for flavor...
i wonder how much of this concept will carry over to the next tt

actually i feel the factors that are hindering the a3's from flying out the doors are the fact that the leases are poor, for the loot you can get a killer a4 lease, also NO QUATTRO. the big advantage the a3 would have over a vw would be the 2.0t with awd. it doesn't have it and the average audi fan that is between say 25-32 wants quattro.

Very True... the lack of AWD killed the A3 Sportback for North America.

Am I the only one that noticed the little device below the Nav Screen?
Looks to me like that may be a spot for a iPod to slide in there. Obviously the item in their currently is not a iPod but is sure looks like the right size and shape. On the other hand it may be a DMS slot for a new Phatnoise like solution. Very interesting...***Update***
I just read the artical again... Looks like that is the touch pad for the MMI. " Alternatively, a remote control with pressure-sensitive surface can be used to make inputs, as on a PDA computer. The input monitor pops up out of a slot beneath the centre display at the push of a button."Oh well, it was a good thought while it lasted.

say hello to the all new mazda 3.. (fumbles over words) I, I mean Audi Shooting brake.
#20
wow i'm not a big fan of most audi exterior designs but this one makes me feel all tingly they took the best aspects of the mazda 3 and m coupe and wow
#21
I kinda like it! If it comes out, its going to make my purchasing decision for a new car in or around 2008 very difficult!
#22
the first thing I thought was a thinly veiled TT... Look at all the cut lines and hard points... they are identical...Picture is worth a thousand words... Here-
anybody do picture hosting? I've Photoshopped the two together. Dead on, its the same car, but i can't post them.
UPDATE: here are the pix- see my other replay for most of the similarities.... the cut line of the door is identical...among others... later-

You don't mean the current TT, do you? Because this is based on the new TT due out next year.

I'm sure the Underpinning is the the same as the new Jetta and Golf Mk-V, but its strange a lot of the same cuts and cues from the current platform are there. (please some one help me post my pixs... this would explain a lot...)Take the rear 3/4 view of the ShooTTing Break that is shown, pull up a rear 3/4 view of a current TT and compare...
1. the Hood line breaks at the exact same location
2. The door cuts look identical
3. the B-pillar location (if there really was one there) looks identical
4. Tail light location and shape is very close.
5. the cut line from the Rear tail light into the quarter panel is nearly identical
6. the outside rear view mirrors are in the same location.More later- I'm getting swamped at work.
#25
As a current TT owner....if you build it ,I will come!2 full size golf bag minimum...AND rear seats.
Never mind the V-6...2.0 L FSI is fine!
GO!
#26
I freaking LOVE it!! It is a very European design, but less offending than other hatches of the sort. I like all of the TT cues. A TT hatch is a good idea I think. I hope they build it, or at least the new TT will look like it. I like the lightweight components. There is nothing that kills performance like an obese body on a great suspension.I love it.
#27
or they could always put a neumatic suspension on it and make something simular to this!
#28
#29
Nice work Paul. I may have to work on a front view. If anyone does Photoshops of the TT, we'd love to include them in our Photoshop gallery that we recently added. It can be found here.
#30
Props to your PS skillls, and my bet is that at least gives a fair idea what the next gen TT coupe will approximate...but my point is why the unnecessary lines and creases which only IMHO serve to make the design more ordinary and certainly less striking than the original.The interior of the Brake Concept (what an assinine name) is equally generic and unexciting save for the possible iPOD cartridge type stereo.
The engines options as given are just not up to today's standard in this market. No points there. Just hope something else technically is outstanding...the suspension has promise.
I have to put in the dissenting view here, not impressed and wouldn't buy it...but I tell, I'd LOVE to have to eat a slice of humble pie, and when all is said and done, admit I was wrong, if the new TT comes out and I love it.
But based on this, I'd pass.
#31
I would get excited except it seems every VW or Audi concept I get excited about gets axed or isn't coming over here..

Finally a car that Audi/VW design that catches me the way the Corrado did when I was 16 back in 1990I'll take one. It reminds me of the M Coupe, Corrado, and the Crossfire

The door cut looks nothing alike to me however... note the crease line at the shoulder, and the upsweep line that runs through the lower portion. The rest are similar because afterall, it is still a TT!

Quote » The second key to its excellent dynamics on the road is its highly effective suspension with McPherson strut layout at the front and the new four-link independent suspension at the rear. Large 19-inch wheels with size 245/40 R18 tyres promote driving fun and safety. 19" wheels with 245/40 R18 tires? Must be a tight fit!
#35
Yeah! they're run- flats!In reality I'm glad they're continuing the line without making it tooo
baroque.
