British publication Autocar brings news that the stillborn Volkswagen Polo R is now likely to be revived.

The theory being the Volkswagen Group PQ25 platform, on which the Polo and A1 are built, will be more cost-effective […]
Audi S1 faces identity crisis
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 […]
Fresh Audi S1 spy shots
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 […]
More Audi S1 gossip
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).

Yes, quattro for Audi S1?
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 […]
No quattro for Audi S1?
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+ […]
Is this evidence of an Audi RS1?
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 […]
184kW for the Audi RS1?
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 […]
Is this really an undisguised Audi RS1?
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 […]
