Audi unleashes the A1 Quattro
22 Dec 2011|4,720 views

Powering Audi’s latest hot hatchback is a tuned 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with direct injection and turbocharging technologies that produces 256bhp and a peak torque of 350Nm. The 2.0 TFSI is coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox and Audi's Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. Audi says the A1 Quattro sprints from 0-100km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 245km/h.
Audi says its engineers adapted the chassis to the dynamics of the drivetrain with the A1 Quattro featuring McPherson struts up front and a four-link axle at the rear. The hot hatch also gets an electrohydraulic power steering with a direct 14.8:1 steering ratio, while the ESP stabilization program includes a sport mode and can be switched off entirely. The Quattro rides on new 18-inch, centre-locking cast alloy wheels in a bespoke turbine design wrapped in 225/35-series tyres.
Available exclusively in a Glacier White metallic with a high-gloss black finish for the roof and details such as the single-frame grille and lower half of the tailgate, the A1 Quattro is fitted with a new aero kit that includes a different front bumper with larger air vents, side skirts, a roof wing and a rear diffuser. It also gets tinted LED rear lights, tinted rear windows, and bespoke twin tail pipes.
The interior of the car is dressed in Nappa black leather with contrasting red seams, while standard features include a pair of body hugging sports seats, a flat bottom sports steering wheel, aluminum gear shift lever and pedals, and a revised instrument panel.
The A1 Quattro is the first A1 to receive Audi’s Quattro all-wheel-drive system, and the hottest A1 model ever features styling details inspired by Audi’s legendary Quattro rally car of the 1980s. The A1 Quattro will be limited to a production run of just 333 units, and will go on sale in the second half of 2012.
