Audi a1 (2009)

Audi A1 Quattro Bumped to 302HP by ABT Sportsline - Carscoop

Even though Audi created the limited run A1 Quattro as the ultimate performance model of its premium sub-compact series, ABT Sportsline believes that there's always room for improvement.In factory trim, the "Little Devil", as the German tuner's founder and CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt names it, comes with a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine that generates 252hp (256PS / 188 kW) at 6,000rpm and 350Nm (258 lb-ft) of peak torque between 2,500 and 4,500rpm for a 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.7 seconds.
An ABT power kit that encompasses a software upgrade for the four-cylinder engine's electronic management boosts those figures to 303Hp (307PS or 226 kW) and 400Nm (332 lb-ft) between 2,500 to 5,000rpm respectively.
The increase in power allows for acceleration from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in 5.4 seconds, three tenths of a second faster than the serial version, while ABT points out that there's no penalty in fuel consumption and exhaust emissions over the regular A1 Quattro.
 
(...) Concorrentes do A1 é o Mito, MINI e o DS3 mas quem tem interesse num A1 dificilmente compra o Mito ou o DS3.(...)

DS3, MINI, 500, Abarth 500, MiTo, conseguem estar em termos de percepção de imagem e de número absoluto de vendas a nível europeu ao mesmo nível perante o mercado automóvel.

Sem ser ostensivo estava bem interessante esteticamente.
 
Novo motor a gasolina para o Audi A1

000dedition3.jpg

Desde este mes de enero los interesados en el Audi A1 podrán adquirirlo con la nueva motorización 1.4 TFSI de 140 CV y desconexión selectiva de cilindros según la demanda de potencia. Este motor se puede combinar con las dos carrocerías y con caja manual o secuencial de doble embrague.

Según los datos homologados, el A1 1.4 TFSI 140 CV alcanza los 203 km/h de velocidad máxima y acelera de 0 a 100 km/h en 8,9 segundos. En cuanto a los consumos, la media declarada es de 5,3 L/100, con unas emisiones de 109 g/km de CO2. Estos datos son iguales tanto en las unidades con cambio manual como en los S-Tronic con siete relaciones. Si hay un dato que destaca es el consumo urbano, de sólo 6,5 L/100 y que podemos considerarlo muy bajo dado la potencia del motor.
 
S1 deve aparecer em 2014. RS1, provavelmente, não

S1 deve aparecer em 2014. RS1, provavelmente, não

Ever since the A1 was introduced, there’s been plenty of discussion whether there’d be an S or RS version of the little car. Test mules of what was believed both cars have been spied and and “S1″-logo instrument cluster on a car spied at Audi headquarters seemed to suggest at least the S-car version, but there’d still been discussion from fans whether the S1 name would be used given its unofficial assignment to the original Sport quattro. Now, intel from a source at Audi AG have confirmed at least the S1.

According to highly placed and reliable source, Audi will introduce the S1 “for sure” and it will hit the market in 2014. Our render above shows what the car might look like were it to be introduced today – adding simple S-car cues to the current A1 S line model. Given the 2014 timeframe though, we’d expect that the S1 will be launched alongside the A1 product improvement (P.I., a.k.a. facelift).

What powers the S1 remains to be seen. Audi could go with the 2.0 TFSI setup of the A1 quattro or perhaps the new 1.8 TFSI that is just hitting the market. Either would make for a quick and fun starter S-car.

When it comes to the Audi RS 1, a contact from quattro GmbH is less bullish. They site the A1 quattro special edition – a car not built by quattro GmbH, but certainly one that suggests RS design cues that would likely be adopted to an RS model. “We showed the A1 quattro in the past that was already very emotional. There is a question of whether the market is big enough for an RS 1. I’d say probably not. It is a very price sensitive market and (an RS 1) might get too expensive” we were told.

That last news about the RS 1 is unfortunate. We’ve driven both the A1 clubsport quattro Concept and MTM’s 2.5 TFSI-swapped A1 Nardo and can only say how wonderfully crazy the little PQ25 chassis of the A1 is with such a strong motor. Whether or not there’s a market for both an RS 3 and and RS 1 using such an engine remains to be seen but we’re guessing that’s likely one of the reasons the car wouldn’t make it.

For our RS 1 render, we went formulaic. We took the A1 quattro and changed it to an RS color (Daytona Grey) and added the alloy wheels from the RS 4. A mysterious black test mule spied a while back had us wondering if that wouldn’t be precisely where an RS 1 was headed. We love the overall look and would equally love to see it happen, but based on this intel we’re guessing the RS 1 is a non-starter. A pity.
