Audi S1 Confirmed for Production in 2014

Word has it that it will be either the 1.8 TFSI or 2.0 TFSI. Now do they go with the 2.0 or save it for an RS1?

At a guess and judging by the amount of wires and boxes on the back seat something to do with telemetry and testing measurements.

Sorry, but do we really want or need the RS1?

Audi pricing trend would put it in the 135i or hot B class band, which is (IMO) wrong and a fail.

I await corrective posts.

One of those things on the wheels has Kistler written on it:

I would love an RS 1, would rather Audi launch that than a Q3 RS.

The Q3 RS is ridiculous and pointless.

RS1 sounds like fun, but I don't think I could live with a 4 cylinder RS though. Unless it was a boxer. :) Anyway, it doesn't exist.

The A1 Quattro looks like a proper laugh. Not available in RHD though. I quite fancy one, though:

The A1 Quattro is an amazing car, and I'm sure the S1 will be a mighty fine car.

I don't know if anyone has looked at the A1 Clubsport Quattro, but if not: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bmafLiKasVA

If that link didn't work, then google it and check out the YouTube video.....I need that car :biggrin3:
