2006 Audi Roadjet Concept


Blending Audi's latest evolutionary stage idiom with their focus on an entirely new space concept. This new drive technology represents audi's innovative concepts to produce performance efficiency from a longitudinally installed engine featuring the first model version of the sporty 7-speed direct shift gearbox. The roadjet's electronic systems are key demonstrators of technology to be found in future models in the short term.

The power unit of the engine is impressive not merely in terms of absolute performance, but also thanks to its pulling power and bite, coupled with a linear increase in power all the way up to a top speed of 250kms that has been electronically limited. The engine is a 3.2-litre six-cylinder engine with FSI petrol direct injection serves as an appropriate source of propulsion for the Audi Roadjet Concept. Its fixed intake manifold and the new Audi valvelift system develops 300 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 244 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm.

The dynamic suspension layout with four-link front suspension and self-tracking trapezoidal-link rear suspension delivers the accustomed standard of driveability and ride comfort. Variable shock absorbers and the new Audi dynamic steering rack-and-pinion steering concept with variable ratio are used for the first time.

Audi's Drive Select system enables the driver to preselect several independant modes (comfort, dynamic and sport) at the push of a buttom. These in there own alter the steering, damping and transmission response and also the engine characteristics.

looking at the front grill I think that this is rather an agressive stance for Audi to take but does seem to suit this particular concept car.

Looks like the 07 model to me.

that's right, this is the prelude to the final which will be released in 07.

I don't mind the grille at all (except for the thought of real life use when in NZ someone backs into you with a towbar). I'm glad they did't put that part-scalloped A4 headlamp system.
