Each year Worthersee plays host to the now legendary GTI meet, at which auto enthusiasts and of course Audi fans from throughout Europe come together. AUDI AG once again has its own stand at this extraordinary event. The brand's appearance at the 28th Worthersee Tour (from May 20-23) in Reifnitz, Karnten (Austria), is dedicated to the centennial celebration "100 years of Audi."
Last year, Audi showcased the A3 TDI clubsport quattro - a concept car with enough torque and power to get it from 0-100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. This year, in addition to historic models from various decades, the Ingolstadt carmaker is featuring showcase vehicles such as the Audi TT RS, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro and the Audi A1 Sportback.
As a special highlight for the event at Worthersee, Audi has prepared a customised Audi Q5 with 21-inch wheels, wider track, lowered ride height, a special paint finish and a power-enhanced 3.0 TFSI engine: the Audi Q5 custom concept.
Prominently featured is the Audi Q5 custom concept, which Audi engineers prepared specially for the Worthersee Tour. The test bed for Audi Genuine Accessories in the custom color Daytona Gray matt rolls on 21-inch wheels of a seven twin-spoke design.
Compared to the production model, the track was widened by 90 millimeters and the ride height lowered by 60 millimeters. The power output of the 3.0 TFSI V6 engine has been increased from 333 hp to 408 hp, allowing the Audi Q5 custom concept to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. Top speed is governed at 250 km/h.
Among the other showcase vehicles at Worthersee are both the coupe and roadster versions of the new Audi TT RS. The turbocharged 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine in the TT RS pumps out 340 hp to deliver explosive acceleration, driving delight, and unrivalled sound. Sprinting from zero to 100 km/h in well under five seconds, the TT RS goes all the way to a governed top speed of 250 km/h. Its quattro permanent all-wheel drive, advanced suspension and powerful brakes keep all this power safely under control.
On the subject of driving machines, the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro is also on display at Worthersee. Developed in cooperation with quattro GmbH, the R8 5.2 FSI quattro is the new top-of-the-line R8.
Another very special member of the R8 family is also appearing at Worthersee. The GT3 race version of the R8, the 500 hp R8 LMS, marks the first time that Audi Sport had developed a race car specifically for client racing.
The ten-cylinder GT3 sports car is facing its first acid test this weekend at the 24-hour Nurburgring race. With factory support from Audi, the ABT Sportsline and Phoenix Racing teams have entered a total of four vehicles in the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring.
Audi is also providing a peek at its upcoming entry in the compact class below the A3 at Worthersee: The A1 Sportback concept is the concept car for a five-door four-seater.
