no Audi S1 thread? Or am I missing it.

[Yaj Yak]

too bad we won't see it.

I dig it.

The original Audi S1 died in 1991, along with the all the rest of Audi’s rally dreams. But not before the S1 cemented itself in racing history as one of the best there ever was. Now it’s back, and while it may be much cuter and much hatch-ier than before, it revives the iconic nameplate with pride and power.


At 231 horsepower, the S1 Sportback packs enough of a punch to put lesser hatchbacks to shame. The 2.0-liter TFSI engines comes paired to a six-speed manual transmission and Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel drive. To 62 mph, the Sportback will run in only 5.8 seconds.

Sporting a yellow and black paint scheme — similar to Audi’s iconic racing livery — the S1 comes in a new five door layout. This hot hatch also sports 17-inch rims and 225/35 R18 rubbers.

Inside, the S1 doesn’t stray much from the original A1 in terms of design. A simple black theme with silver and yellow accents give the S1 Sportback a few minor tweaks to the clean interior.

Both the new S1 and S1 Sportback will be on display at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March.

Oh sweet, a $40k Fiat 500

this looks quite a bit better to me, and is quicker

I'm not sure if it would be $40k either... but maybe?

 

[Euro]

Yeah I fat fingered the price. Probably more so towards $30k?

Interior looks real nice, but not a fan of the outside

The s3 is gonna be just over 40k it sounds like from what i just read... so maybe this will be a couple grand less?

I dig the outside.

I would want it not in yellow though.

Does it have passion?

 

[Mook]

That yellow trim piece is heinous

 

[Yaj Yak]

That yellow trim piece is heinous

the leather one inside that wraps the shifter?

 

[Mook]

The gaudy yellow piece that looks like a urinal laying flat, yes.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I didn't even notice it at first

so angry.

 

[Mook]

How can you not notice it? It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Audi is better than this.

Too small and it would be a tough sell against the GTI here in the US.

[MENTION=19]Kay Jay[/MENTION], you know your lanky ass would never fit in that car. Not a chance.

The Golf R is AWD. It's supposed to be in the US in the next year or so. The new GTI has been getting pretty good reviews.

personally for me... 4 doors > 2 doors in a car like this.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

this car is for babies.

 

[rocket5979]

Reminds me of a chick's car (Fiat 500). I would not own one. I would much rather have a VW Golf GTI or R. The Golfs look better to me.

 

[SinisterSHO]

Sportsback?

 

[RICH17]

That black peice on the deck lid is ugly as sin. And it sits like a truck

 

[RICH17]

I should just stop comentating on things. I usually hate everything
