The Audi Shooting Brake was a concept car developed by Audi and officially unveiled at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. It was a study of a sporty two-door compact shooting brake hatchback.[1]
The concept vehicle was based on the second-generation Audi TT and provided, to some extent, a preview of the new TT, which was yet to be launched. It was powered by a 3.2 litre VR6 engine, developing a maximum output of 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp) at 6200 rpm,[citation needed] with torque peaking at 35.0 kg·m ( N·m; lb·ft) between 2500 and 3000 rpm.[citation needed] The engine, already in some of the Audi's production models, such as the second generation Audi A3, and the Audi TT sports car, accelerated the Shooting Brake from 0 to 100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 6 seconds,[citation needed] reaching an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h ( mph).[citation needed] The vehicle also had Audi's quattro four wheel drive system.
The exterior appearance was dominated by a massive single frame front grille, characteristic to the newest Audi models, as well as clear-glass headlights with new LED technology and 19-inch double-spoke wheels from quattro GmbH. The interior put the emphasis on sporty design and is dominated by materials like aluminium and leather. A notable interior feature was an evolutionary version of navigation system[clarification needed] with touch screen monitor and character recognition.
In 2007, an Audi executive said that the car would not be produced.[2]
