Had a quick search, couldn’t see any results on this.

Mate just sent me this link via email, new concept Audi A1. Looks absolutely stunning. Is there a chance of this concept model being manufactured?

Not convinced myself, but as its sitting on Audi's site I suspect it will arrive at some point.

Its just a squished A3 from looks anyway :/

Still, better than the A2

Scottland · 18 Oct 2008 at 20:33

It looks like an A3 has mated with a new Impreza, although is this bigger than the A2? It looks that way from the pics.

Don't like it.

Has to many doors

WOWEEE

Another generic Audi

Tinders · 18 Oct 2008 at 20:52

So would this be some sort of Mini rival? or more of a Merc A class rival?

Kristoph · 18 Oct 2008 at 20:59

Meh. 1.4 hybrid or 1.4 turbo.

Firstly "Has too many doors"

Secondly, it only has five, that's the right number for an audi sportback.

I find this very interesting

Powered by a 1.4-litre TSI engine developing 150bhp (thanks to a turbo and a supercharger) and mated to Audi’s twin-clutch S tronic gearbox, the A1 will be no slouch. Yet, the maker claims a highly impressive 92g/km CO2 figure, in part as a result of the car’s mild hybrid powertrain, with a 27bhp electric motor complimenting the engine.

grudas · 18 Oct 2008 at 23:09

better than a2 ;D

Deep · 19 Oct 2008 at 01:00

Is it just me who thinks the A2 is quite good looking? I have seen a few down tastefully done up and they look excellent

Removing doors makes run of the mill hatchbacks look like sports coupés.

True story.

How does the engine breath with vents like that?

Probably something under the engine bay to scoop air up. The images are just renders though so it will undoubtedly change to look a little more generic to reduce costs by using existing Audi parts like the grille.
