The front of the car is designed to look very aggressive with some black accents,LED headlights and special alloy wheels.In the back the double exhaust looks great.
As the name hints this car is equipped with Quattro AWD system that sends power to all of the 4 wheels.The power is produced by a 2.0 Liter turbo engine that makes 256 HP and 350 NM paired with a six speed manual transmission.
Thanks to the exclusivity of the A1 Quattro (only 333 Audi A1 Quattro units that will ever be produced) and to the special propulsion system that is equipped with, this car will cost well over 30.000 Euros(39.204 US. Dollars). This will make the A1 Quattro one of the best hot hatches on the market and probably the best supermini of this year.
Compared to the standard A1 this version, that resulted from many performance improvements made by the Audi engineers, is wider, has an improved suspension system and a wider wheelbase.
The ESP has been reprogrammed so it can be shut off completely which is nice since the quattro system distributes the power between the wheels very nicely.
The exact price for the German market will be made public at the Geneva Motor Show.
