The on-again, off-again Audi S1 is currently enjoying a promising run in the on-again hemisphere, a place it is now likely to remain. Indeed, Auto motor und sport reckon the S1 will be launched in 2013. Other nuggets of information from our German friends include: Suggestions the S1 will cost less than €30,000 (for reference […]
British publication Autocar brings news that the stillborn Volkswagen Polo R is now likely to be revived. This follows recent news that the future of an all-wheel drive Audi S1 is now looking very good. The theory being the Volkswagen Group PQ25 platform, on which the Polo and A1 are built, will be more cost-effective […]
Contradiction and confusion are the order of the day in regards to the future of the Audi S1. It seems certain that an A1-based model with a 1.4 TFSI engine producing in the order of 130kW driving the front wheels only will be made. But what badge will it wear? Will this be the first […]
This otherwise innocent looking Audi A1 is believed to be a near production ready S1 pocket rocket. Apart from the images, there’s no new speculation from our last update posted in June, except to suggest the official reveal of the S1 could take place at the Paris Motor Show in October. According to the photographer […]
There’s been a bit of chatter around the tubes this morning about the Audi S1. Mostly there’s nothing new being said, other than this from Audi boss Ruper Stadler, “Sportiness is a core value for the Audi brand and we have some clear ideas [for the A1] in this direction.” So, we’re still expecting around […]
According to reports Audi Spain have inadvertently revealed European pricing for the upcoming Audi S1. This happened when a price list for the full A1 range was published and showed the S1 would have a starting price of €28,360 (approx AU$42,600). This is interesting from an Australian perspective because the S1 would need to enter […]
Hmm, someone is telling porkies. Well, at least, that appears to be the case following a new report from Motor Authority that says Audi’s new S1 will have a quattro drivetrain. Regular readers will remember last month’s report speculation from Auto Bild that the A1 platform, and the S1 with it, would be only available […]
Earlier hopes of a hotted up all-wheel drive Audi A1, likely to wear Audi’s hallowed S1 badge, ready to take it up to the MINI John Cooper Works could be dashed. Back in January Auto Express told us of Audi’s plans to build a 200hp S1 fitted with a rear-biased quattro drivetrain. Now, new details […]
AutoExpress has again led with images that will excite hot hatch enthusiasts. News has been around for a while about the Audi S1, but initial speculation suggested the S1 would be powered by the 2-litre turbo found in the current Mk5 Golf GTI. This latest report says the S1 will be powered by a 200bhp+ […]
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 […]
