A series of illustrations lodged by Audi to the European trademark office have recently be revealed. The understated monotone images could be evidence of firm plans for an RS1 über-hatch. Alas, they could equally apply to the already launched limited-edition A1 quattro. For now there’s not a lot of concrete info to go on. All […]
A recent screen grab from the Audi parts catalogue ‘ETKA’ lists a 184kW/250PS Audi A1 quattro. Let’s assume for a moment that the listing is 100% accurate; that’s quite a lot of power for a little A1. Best guesses would say that any such engine would be found wearing an S1 or RS1 badge. We […]
Autoevolution brings a great series of pics of what they claim is an Audi RS1. This follows a couple of days after new RS1 speculation emerged. Take a look at the body kit of the car lapping at the Nürburgring. The front spoiler certainly has a genuine OEM feel about it. Even the large rear […]
At this year’s Wörthersee show Audi unwrapped the awesome 370kW A1 clubsport concept car. Not long after they told us Ingolstadt referred to the car as the RS1. Now we have some proof that the car is genuinely being considered. The car you see above was photographed at Audi headquarters. If you follow the source […]
The otherwise standard looking Audi A1 is believed to be a cooking new S1 model. Quad exhaust tips give us the first clue that this is a warmed over version of the A1 and those odd looking wheel hubs could also be used for evaluating a quattro all-wheel drive system. Who knows whether this will […]
Back in May when Audi released the A1 clubsport at the Wörthersee show we became a little weak at the knees. Sure, we knew the 370kW in the show car was never going to be likely, but would Audi really make a production model based on this fantasy? Well, as it happens, yes they will. […]
First, we got the news that Audi had not only dreamed up a 370kW A1 clubsport, but actually built it as well. Then we get told that inside Audi the car is referred to as the RS1. Now you can watch a video of it being made. Audi, please make the A1 clubsport a production […]
These are the words of Audi head of design Stefan Sielaff, as reported by What Car. The car he is referring to, of course, is the bonkers A1 clubsport, complete with 370kW, revealed at Wörthersee a few days ago. Sielaff continued the RS1 tease by saying the A1’s engine bay wouldn’t need to be modified […]
Audi Canada is currently running a Fascination quattro training event for its customers at Mont Tremblant, near Montreal. One of the unexpected stars of the show is this one-off A1 quattro development car. Despite months of rumours, quattro for the A1 was officially confirmed just a few days ago. No detail is given as to […]
Audi has sent out a few odds and ends discussing its future plans for its quattro technology. Much of it is actually old information. However, despite senior staff being quoted as such, this is the first time Audi has sent out a press release confirming quattro will be available on the A1 platform. Looking at […]
The Audi rumour mill has well an truly hit over drive in regards to the hottest version of its A1 platform. First, it was all about the S1. But Audi pulled the pin when they said they couldn’t fit quattro to the little pocket rocket and the car formerly known as the S1 simply became […]
Here is a rendering of an Audi RS1 from French website L’Automobile. They say the RS1 will be powered by a 1.6 litre turbocharged four cylinder, which will produce around 240bhp (180kW). However, we’re still only playing with rumours about the development of an S1; nothing official has been announced by Audi. And the whole […]
