Audi Sportback is the New Hatchback
Audi released some sexy concept sketches of the new A1 Sportback, which will be revealed at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. The A1 Sportback concept has an overall length of 12 feet – making this sexy, sporty Hatchback the little cousin of the larger A3 Sportback, which measures in a 14. And it retains the massive, attractive grill, boasting the quatro-rings. Looks like you’ve got room for four plus a small trunk space – but it seems as if people who drive hatchbacks don’t really worry themselves with cargo room.
Under the hood Audi has blessed A1 with a 150 HP 1.4-liter TFSI engine with a 27 horse power hybrid drive. This spare hybrid power gives the A1 an extra shot of 110 lb-ft of torque. This Sportback can pump itself 0-to-60 in about 7.9 seconds. Inside, Audi’s A1 Sportback contains a rounded dash with circular trim. Vents and gauges are complete circles – bringing your driving experience full circle. Oh Audi – so witty!
