Audi is unveiling the Sportback concept show car at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. With systematic refinements to the brand’s characteristic design elements, the five-door model offers a glimpse at the Audi's future design.
The Audi Sportback has the world’s cleanest diesel technology. The six-cylinder 3.0-liter V6 TDI clean diesel is equipped with a system for the effective reduction of nitrogen oxides. The diesel engine development engineers at Audi have combined an entire package of innovative measures for this latest TDI generation.
The Audi Sportback concept is equipped with ceramic brakes on all four wheels for effective deceleration even under the most demanding conditions. On the front axle, 380-millimeter (14.96-inch) ceramic disks are fitted in combination with 21-inch wheels. The rear disks have a diameter of 356 millimeters (14.02 inches).
