Disclosing The Latest Details: 2011 Audi S1

As the New Year comes closer, Audi is getting ready to present its new compact hatch back car Audi A1 in the market. It would be an ideal dream car for all auto buffs that are eagerly waiting for this new Audi edition. Even though it will be launched in 2010 it will be known as 2011 model.

We would like to inform that this new edition is a premium category car and would not be affordable like the Toyota iQ. It would compete against the luxury brand Mini Cooper. Insiders have revealed that to match the high performance Cooper S model Audi plans to launch the sport S1 variant.

The S1 edition will be powered by a turbocharged 1.4 liter TFSI engine and will produce 200 horsepower and 221 pound feet of torque. It will be teamed with Quattro AWD and a 7 speed S-tronic dual clutch gearbox. It is expected that this new edition would gallop from zero to 60 mph in less than six seconds at a top speed of 155mph.

The Audi A1 will also feature stiffened suspension with magnetic dampers, programmable gear box with sport or comfort drive option and 40-60 front to rear torque split.

The exterior silhouette will feature 19 inch alloy wheels, flared wheel arches, chrome highlights including side mirror, and a roof mounted spoiler.

The interiors would feature flat bottomed steering wheel, sporty bucket seat along with aluminum pedals.

It is expected that the S1 edition would be released several months after the standard A1 hatch back has hit the roads.

So if you are waiting for the sports variant … you have a long wait whereas the standard edition is few months down the lane.
