[Lançamento] Audi S1 Quattro 2.0 Turbo

[TommyPT]

The Audi S1 has a very interesting story. After unofficial reports indicated
that the A1 will get a hot version, Audi confirmed this but it didn’t say
anything about the model’s release date, leaving us to believe (and write) that
the car would be coming to the upcoming Paris Auto Show.











However, Audi subsequently announced that the Paris event will
indeed see the debut of a sporty A1, but this won’t be the S1. Instead, Audi
will bring the 184 hp 1.4 TFSI incarnation of the model to the
show.

As we previously reported, we must not fear for the S1’s future life,
as Audi’s original spare parts catalog indicates that this will be
built.

Moreover, multiple media sources now indicate that the German
company is preparing a true revolution for the S1. It seems that the vehicle
won’t be getting a pumped-up version of the 1.4 liter engine that develops
around 200 hp.

Instead, the hot hatch is expected to receive the VW
Group's 2.0l turbocharged powerplant that will deliver 270 hp. And this is only
half the news. In order to be worthy of the “S” designation, the vehicle is
expected to come with a quattro all-wheel-drive system.

We’ll blow away
a new wave of worries: the S1 won’t cannibalize the S3 (this currently delivers
265 hp), as the A3 range is expected to receive the TT RS’ 340 hp 2.5 liter
five-cylinder turbocharged engine for the birth of a new model - the RS3. This means that Audi will take the hot
hatch segment to a new level.

E pronto lá vem o novo pocket rocket, com sistema Quattro e 270 póneis

[BigDaddy]

Parece-me um pouco exagerado, o 1.4 TFSi 180cv e DSG chega perfeitamente

[oXavier]

ninguém o vai comprar lol

se o rs3 já custa 70000, este vai custar 60000?

Já existe o 1.4 TFSI de 185cv's.

se o rs3 já custa 70000, este vai custar 60000?

Há malucos para tudo.

[oXavier]

Há malucos para tudo.

mas há uma razão para comprar o rs3 que é o facto de ser uma edição limitada, já este...

[BigDaddy]

Já existe o 1.4 TFSI de 185cv's.

Então podem encerrar o capitulo do A1, não tou a ver que mais se possa fazer, ou isto é só uma edição para meter grelha de favos cromada e espelhos cromados?

[xeLa]

Como já havia posto no tópico do A1... suposto S1 a descoberto no Dubai

Por fora, não passa de um S-line, mas ainda é só um carro de testes, penso eu.

[warmthboy]

Mais um pocket rocket...

É giro e tal mas o preço deve ser inflacionado até á décima casa...

[bg2]

esta noticia está tão actualizada que o carro já devia ter sido apresentado no salão de Paris em setembro passado....

[caditonuno]

se isto (ainda) for verdade, está mal. penso que o motor do golf GTI chegava perfeitamente, na ordem dos 200 a 230cv. agora com 270 num chassis destes... depis claro que os cavalos e potência dos irmãos mais velhos tem que subir vertiginosamente.

[DeBeF]

E seguindo a lógica da Audi estará na calha ainda um RS1...

I wonder how many HP

[oXavier]

nessa altura já deve ter saído o ft-86, eu compro um fico a rir-me

Nem para rir dão as tuas participações cheias de coceira...

S1 no Nürburgring

O carro fotografado possuía arcos em alumínio, escape duplo (com uma ponteira em cada lado), suspensão revista e jantes e travões de dimensões generosas.

Neste artigo diz também que o motor, ao invés de tudo o que li até agora, será um 1.6 turbo a produzir cerca de 220 cv associado a um novo Quattro com controlo electrónico, embraiagem "multi-plate" com comando hidráulico localizado à frente do eixo traseiro para uma optimização da distribuição de peso.

vá lá. acho perfeitamente normal e possível um 1600cc com 220cv, já que debitam alguns motores do género 180 e 190cv. nem que lhe ponham outro turbo mais pequeno a acompanhar o grande. agora como quando tinha 270cv previstos... era mesmo muita fruta!

vai ser um bom carro prós racers comprarem com 6 anos.

[Miguelspc]

Vai ser prato do dia na VDG

Mas ainda assim lá andam os saxo do poder a darem 300 de ponta e ctrs a darem 300 de ponta

[oXavier]

um grande pormenor, assim de repente, as jantes não são do rs5

[BigDaddy]

um grande pormenor, assim de repente, as jantes não são do rs5

Nem ponteiras cupra

[pateta]

Este carro dá-me vómitos

[LuisMiguelC]

E esta versão, com 503cv?

Um S1, tem tudo para ser um carro interessante.

O problema vai residir, certamente, é no seu preço, onde a Audi nestas versões S e RS se anda a esticar um bocado. Veja-se o exemplo do RS3 que falaram, 70 mil €... Ainda é muito dinheiro!

[PistonHeads] - Análise ao Audi S1

Hot Audis are famously hit and miss dynamically, so how does the S1 fare?



All journalism should be about objectivity, especially when wittering on about cars. Previous prejudices, personal preferences and brand loyalties have to be cast aside to deliver a reliable verdict on whatever new car lays waiting at the airport car park.


Probably fun here. We didn't get to find out

But that was always going to be a struggle with the Audi S1 because, to these eyes at least, it looks absolutely marvellous. The wheels are right out in the corners, the (optional) black roof gives the impressions of lowering the car and the black rear panel, a la A1 Quattro, is a great feature. Four exhausts remain wholly unnecessary and rather naff however.

The good news continues inside because the S1 just gets the simple stuff right. The gearknob is just the right size, as is the wheel diameter and thickness. The three (yes three, the S1 is manual and manual only) stainless steel pedals are just where you want them from the off too; perhaps the seat could do with a little more support but that's a minor gripe. Best steer clear of the quattro interior styling package though, which colour codes the transmission tunnel and seat backs with the outside. Garish could be an understatement.


That'll be the improved 'spontaneity' then

He's called the Stig
Given the effort Audi had gone to with the S1 launch (actual Stig Blomqvist was there, with road and rally-spec Sport Quattros too), the roads were a bit of a disappointment. Perhaps it was churlish to expect any more from Sweden but the initial 90km from airport to hotel (see it here) revealed very little thanks to strictly enforced speed limits, lots of slush on the roads and vast open corners.

What's immediately apparent though is the S1's speed. It's a seriously quick little car. With only 1hp more than a Golf GTI Performance and, amazingly, another 39kg to carry around, it really shouldn't feel any faster on the road and yet it does. Lag disappears at about 1,800rpm and the S1 is pulling hard from about 2,500. Fairly short gearing only exaggerates the impression. Yes it lacks a bit of top-end ferocity, the power tailing off beyond 6,000rpm, but given the performance elsewhere that seems almost irrelevant. Is the S1 perhaps nearer the A1 Quattro's 256hp than Audi are letting on?

Moreover, the noise is great, the four-cylinder turbo sounding far less synthesised than the both the Golf and Leon Cupra. Maybe four pipes is a good idea...


Red in lights can be deleted. Phew.

Pipe dreams
Audi is particularly proud of the S1's standard-fit variable dampers with two modes and switchable through the Drive Select system. As appears to be the VW Group way, the difference between normal and dynamic is fairly subtle; the S1 is always firm, but dynamic mode doesn't ruin the ride despite further stiffening the dampers.

Furthermore there's no crash or thump despite a short wheelbase and the firm ride, the S1 remaining composed and flat in all circumstances we could throw at it. Dynamic mode is preferable as efficiency has a horribly spongy throttle response and it also adds a little more weight to the steering over auto. Never is the steering exactly communicative, but what did you expect?

Audi's original plan for the S1 was to show off its fancy new multi-link rear axle and 4WD (up to 50 percent of the power can go back) with some ice driving. Unfortunately, this wasn't possible due to Sweden's (relatively) mild weather. What we got instead was two laps of a tiny handling circuit behind an S3 saloon pace car. Brilliant.


We're all for brightening up interiors but...

Handling the disappointment
What did we find out? Perhaps most encouragingly of all, ESC off really does seem to mean off. And if it doesn't, it is hugely lenient! The modified pivot bearings and revised steering means the S1 is really keen to turn in without feeling nervous; coming off the throttle will see the front tighten its line or even bring the rear round if enough speed is carried.

The brakes (310mm discs at the front 272mm at the rear) are strong and don't feel quite as grabby at top of the pedal as some other VW Group models can. The winter tyres may have lent the S1 an extra level of fun, but the early impressions of the S1's handling are very positive. The sense of agility and eagerness completely belies that rather podgy kerbweight.

Though a rather old-fashioned cliche, the S1 is a proper pocket rocket. But that has its downsides too, namely in terms of space. Though this is PH and not What Car?, a hot hatch should be able to cover all the bases all the time. The S1, with its tiny boot and quite cramped rear seats, can't really. A Leon Cupra 265 SC is just £790 more than the 3-door S1 and that will tick more boxes for more people. But on sheer fun and perhaps desirability the Audi may just have it. We can't wait to try one in the UK to know for sure.
