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.

    An with a super charger and turbo charger it shouldn't have any low torque spots across the power band

  • Kabluey

    IF the car won't have as many problems as MINI, I would definitely buy one…

    something to consider

  • Pat

    I'm def going to buy this (or at least consider it… it's so good-looking and 200-hp sounds amazing.

    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.

  • Bobmarley

    If you depend on your car to get laid then your douche bag….your opinion is void

  • neil

    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

  • Pat

    I think he'll get laid just for using the Facebook comment system… I'm too lazy to do all that… I know its a few clicks but im still lazy.

  • neil

    Yeah I got to set that up too
    How's that not procrastinating New Years Resolution going!!!!

    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
