The Audi A1 rumours started a little while ago and is expected to be on show at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year. Reports have started to surface of the Audi S1 specs and I am sure that this is the model that the young Audi fans have been waiting for.
Built on the same frame as the VW Polo GTi, the Audi S1 is set to challenge the likes of the Mini Cooper S and Alfa’s new sexy MiTo Cloverleaf.
The S1 will be powered by a 1.4L turbocharged, direct injection, 4 cylinder engine, pumping out 180bhp and 184lb-ft torque.
The real kicker though, is that the Audi S1 will be Audi’s first S range car without the renowned Quattro system which usually pumps power out to all four wheels.
The Audi S1 is expected to go on display at the Paris Motor Show and should hit showrooms early 2011.
I’ll have 1 please!

yeah, I too would love one as well. I am sure that I could improve Audi’s presence and brand awareness between my home and work. Besides driving the S1 is sure to keep me calm in traffic, make me smile, make others smile and hence improve general traffic temperament amongst everyone. lol

Wow 180bhp and four-wheel drive in a car the sie of a Mini. It should be a very fun car to drive. It will probably feel even more like a go-kart than the Mini does. This may just join the R8 and S5 as the only other Audi I would consider buying.
