Audi’s A1 Discovered Testing in Germany
Photos by S.B. Medien – The super-secretive Audi A1 was caught on the test track in Germany last week, sporting a BMW-Style disguise. Audi’s A1 Steaksauce concept appears to have a longer wheelbase than its chief rivals. An Audi executive was recently quoted stating several body variants were possible, but here we see an obvious 3-or-5 door coupe set up. Excitement!
Engines would include a 1.8-litre TSI, some diesel units as well as hybrid or full-on electric. Drive would be placed mainly on the front wheels but a possible S1 might take a leaf from bigger S cars and use quattro AWD. Audi is not yet at a stage where customers in the US are prepared to part with premium cash for an ultra-compact model. Therefore the A1 will not be launched for this market, not until such time as public attitudes at least improve.
