After bringing the Audi A1 to the market later this year, Audi will offer a high-performance S1 version of the hatchback that will compete with the likes of the MINI John Cooper Works and the upcoming Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA.

Power will come from a 1.4L TFSI supercharged and turbocharged engine making a total of 200-hp. It will also carry a quattro all-wheel-drove chassis. 0 to 60 mph is expected to come in at 6 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.

The Audi S1 will also receive some cosmetic changes to set it apart from the A1 including flared arches, 19-inch alloy wheels, roof-mounted spoiler, an aggressive front end with a low front splitter, deep air intakes and daytime LED running lights.

Look out for the Audi S1 in early 2010.

This article is bullshit. No way in hell Audi is going to put a 1.4l engine putting out 200hp. While 1.4l is more than enough to make 200hp, this would be a warranty nightmare for Audi. Most auto makers like to stick around the 100hp per L mark and I would expect this to be the same for this car if there will be such a thing as an S1

Obviously our sex-starved friend here has never been to Europe or anywhere else where gas prices are several times that odf the US.

Heres an idea, go and and buy a Great looking and very well biult (if the interior is up to the standard of larger Audi's) small car and use the money you save on gas buying a date a nicer meal and my guess is you'll get laid a lot more often

I really don't get what's with these mini-super cars these days. What's next? the F1 Honda Fit supercar? Seriously, sure you can go 0 to 60 in no time, but you totally won't get laid.
