Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept
Audi has whipped out the production model at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, two months after checking out the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept. Internally named "R17," the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept will replace the four-door A4 DTM with which Audi has won the DTM title four times since 2004. Codenamed the "R17," the Audi Sport Cars Concept Audi A5 DTM
replaced the old A4 DTM and is scheduled for homologation on March 1,
2012. Until then, engineers will be busy putting it to some extreme
testing. Referred to internally at Audi Sport car as the "R17", the A5 DTM features a unique hybrid construction coupling a carbon monocoque body and a steel cage forming the cockpit.

The new upgraded A5 that is will be arriving at dealerships shortly provides the basis for the new DTM car. “In 2012 new Technical Regulations will come into effect in the DTM,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.
“We’ve got exactly the right model for that in the A5. We’re convinced
that we’ll be able to continue Audi’s success story with it in the DTM.”

The company was quiet on specifics, but said the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept
has a high-strength carbon-fiber monocoque with a steel roll cage that
is fully-compliant with the latest safety regulations. Ingolstadt’s new
touring model is based on the facelifted Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport
Cars Concept that was presented earlier this week and it complies with
the new technical and safety regulations that will come in effect in the
German touring model championship next year.

The New Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept a high-strength carbon-fiber monocoque combined with a steel tube cage. The racing
model adopts the current A4 DTM’s V8 engine with some minor changes and
an output or around 460-horses. A six-speed transmission will continue
to be used as well. Furthermore, power will be provided by a V8 engine -
that is adopted from the A4 DTM - with approximately 460 PS (340 kW /
456 PS).

“Our
engineers have been involved in bringing up safety in the DTM, which
had already been high before, to the highest possible level,” explains
Dr. Ullrich. “At Le Mans this year we learned again that our concept
of designing safety structures is a very good and appropriate one. This
is exactly what we’ve been trying to feed into the DTM’s safety concept
together with our colleagues from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This new
principle is an outstanding example of what is possible when employees
of three premium manufacturers try to achieve a common aim: to get the
best possible, lowest-cost and safest vehicle – and a fantastic car in general – off the ground.”

The
Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept is 5.01 meters long, 1.95
meters wide, and 1.15 meters low, and is completely made in carbon
fiber. It is powered by a V8 engine mated to six-speed
transmission, now pneumatically operated using paddle shifters in the
steering wheel. The shifting events are more precise compared with
conventional manual gearshifts and allow the mileage of the unit to be
quadrupled to up to 24,000 kilometers. The whole setup delivers a total
of 460 HP. The race car has also received a safety fuel tank with
a capacity of 120 liters integrated with the carbon fiber cell of the
Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars Concept that allows the current
distance of a DTM race to be covered without a refueling stop.

However,
it’s under the skin that the biggest changes have been made. The new
rules have been designed to cut costs (the main reason that BMW has
re-joined the series) but also to make the cars even safer. Which means a
carbonfibre monocoque (with an integrated fuel tank) and steel roll
cage, together with sidewalls made of a carbon, Zylon and Rohacell
hybrid, as the new DTM racers
now have to be able to withstand a static load that is four times higher
than before. And rather than just the front and rear crash elements of
each DTM car being individually
crash-tested, the whole vehicle is now fired against a wall to make sure
the entire structure is up to scratch.

Given the rules of DTM racers, which all have to sport
certain identical features such as the 2,750 mm (108 inches) wheelbase,
Audi was able to lower costs on the Audi Concept Audi A5 DTM Sport Cars
Concept development by up to 40 percent. The model will be homologated
for March 1st and will compete in the 2012 DTM series against
German rivals BMW and Mercedes-Benz. While the renderings show a
pre-facelift model, Audi says the production vehicle will closely
resemble the 2012 A5 Coupe which is slated to go on sale later this
year. Audi has shared a trio of renderings of the Audi Concept Audi A5
DTM Sport Cars Concept but we’ll get the chance to see the real thing at
the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
