Audi RS1

[Adrian]

I think this has potential but the rear end looks really awkward. It definitely isn't cheap, but all that power and 4 wheel drive in such a small car should make it pretty spectacular :

I like the concept of it, like RenaultSport doing the 250(or Trophy) engine conversion to the Clio for a limited run...

I think the price is ok but out of my budget for a hot hatch.

U.G.L.Y... You ain't got no alibi...

Its not an Audi RS1. Its a limited run Audi A1 Quattro.

However, here is a link to what look like to be production ready versions of the Audi S1 and Audi RS1.

I think its stunning personally. Always been a huge fan of the A1. Think they look amazing.

I love Audis but this one - GAY. Like BMW 1M...IMHO.


Wheels remind me of Fiat 500 ones...

I really like the Audi A1, if i could afford one i would definitely buy one. That A1 quattro looks awesome!!

It looks like an awful looking car, you would have to had a serious brain fart to waste that amount of money on one of them.

As a piece of engineering, it certainly sounds the part on paper.

But, it's an Audi. Anything post-2000 is just a generic borebox to me, including the R8.

It's one of those cars that look good in certain colours but god awful in others.

The jury is still out inky:

Utter garbage.

I'd rather splash £50k on a 1M or a Porsche turbo

I personally kinda like the look of it. Think the price is ludicrous, but thats part of what Audi hope will make it 'exclusive'. The upside is that my name is down to review one!

Seems a waste to use the 2.0, when they could so easily use the 2.5 from the TT-RS. Then with just a remap, you could get over 400bhp in an 4WD A1. That'd be a bit more worth the price!
