The Audi Steppenwolf concept from 2000 was a vehicle designed
to be as capable on roads as it is on gravel tracks and
mild off-road terrain.
|
The Audi Steppenwolf was based on the
A3/TT platform |

The chassis of the Audi Steppenwolf concept (which was
based on the Audi A3/TT platform) features 4-level air suspension, giving up to 223 mm of round clearance.
The suspension settings adapt to suit the driving surfaces
and conditions. Powering the Steppenwolf concept was a
3.2 litre V6 which produced 220 horsepower. This was coupled
to a six-speed manual gearbox driving all four wheels
through Audi's proven full-time quattro AWD
system. This setup gave the Steppenwolf a 0-60 mph time
of under 8 seconds.
The Audi Steppenwolf featured deeply contoured bumpers,
painted dark grey to contrast with the sandy body color.
These were designed to highlight the vehicles off-road
potential, just like the spotlights in the door mirrors.
The Steppenwolf could be fitted with either a carbon
fibre hardtop or a detachable soft top. The soft top
for the Audi Steppenwolf is made of sealed textile fabric
and, as on many off-road cars, is fitted by hand.
