NEW 2014 Audi S1 quattro revealed!

The new Audi S1 and the S1 Sportback are the new flagship models in the compact Audi A1 model line, adding an entry-level version to the Audi S model portfolio. They inherit the name of the S1 rally car that back in the 1980s dominated the World Rally Championship.

The Audi S1 and the S1 Sportback are instantly recognizable as the flagship models in the A1 model line. Their xenon plus headlights are all-new while the LED rear lights come with new, horizontally structured graphics. A host of details -- particularly on the front and rear bumper, the side sills and the exhaust system -- boast more striking styling. Four new exterior colors supplement the available paint finishes. The optional quattro exterior styling package hones the look further, courtesy of features such as a large roof spoiler.

The 2.0 TFSI fitted with a turbocharger develops 170 kW (231 hp) and produces up to 370 Nm (272.90 lb-ft) of torque. The two-liter engine accelerates the new Audi S1 and the S1 Sportback from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 5.8 and 5.9 seconds respectively. The top speed is 250 km/h (155.34 mph). On average the sporty, sonorous TFSI consumes just 7.0 (33.60 US mpg) or 7.1 (33.13 US mpg) liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (162 and 166 grams CO2 per kilometer [260.71 g/mile / 267.15 g/mile]) respectively. Like all Audi S models, the S1 and the S1 Sportback also come with quattro permanent all-wheel drive transmission.

The price of the Audi S1 and the S1 Sportback, which will be available at dealers in Germany in the second quarter of 2014, will be 29.950 euro and 30.800 euro respectively.
