The Concept BlueSport is powered by a 2.0 L (120 cu in) TDI I4 producing around 180 hp (134 kW) and 260 lb⋅ft (353 N⋅m). A six speed dual clutch DSG gearbox helps give it an estimated 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) time of 6.2 sec, and a top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h).

Production

It has been reported that a production BlueSport model is under development, based on a platform, codenamed Mimo (for Mittelmotor, or mid engine) or 9X1, to be shared between the Volkswagen Group marques Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche. The Audi version, related to the Audi e-tron Detroit concept car, may be named Audi R4 or R5.

A Porsche variant is speculated to be a "spiritual successor" to the Porsche 356 roadster, positioned below the current Boxster, as the company's entry level model.[3]
