Re: New Audi A1. The Mini Killer?

Audi A1 will succeed the not so famous Audi A2 competing against rival MINI Cooper and the forthcoming Alfa Romeo Junior in the premium mini sector. To keep the development and construct costs low, the A1 will have a steel body using the VW Polo / Skoda Fabia / Seat Ibiza platform.
We think that Audi will equip the A1 with 1.4TSI (122 and 140Hp) and 1.8 TSFI (170Hp) petrol engines (the later probably with an S1 badge) along with a 2.0TDI available in 140 and 170Hp versions.

The A1 will be available only as a FWD just like the Mini.

Re: New Audi A1. The Mini Killer?
Audi should be able to pull that off without a hitch, given how well they have done w/ the TT 2.0T FWD. However I think this car will truly have the time of its life defeating the Mini both dynamically and in sales. The Mini is an icon as both a car and a brand, while the A1 is an all new model that has to prove itself with the public and the class best. There's always a chance Audi could pull a hat trick, but those kinds of occurrences in this industry are rare. Besides that this will be just another version of a generic, mass produced platform, something that will forever deprive Audi the status of an individual player in this coveted league of autonomous auto industry players (MB + BMW). At the same time Audi makes some of the best cars in the industry in more ways than one, they just need to step up their level of consistency in delivering highly competitive products, segment by segment.

Is that so Eni? Using what AWD centre differential technology? Haldex? Is the enough space under the back seat to place a propshaft and rear differential? Hmph - if this is legit then we're about to witness a masterpiece in the exercise of mechanical packaging.

Re: New Audi A1. The Mini Killer?
To be perfectly honest Poverty - I don't know.

The only 4wd mini Jap cars that spring to mind are the Daihatsu Terious (a decidely SUV-ish take on the super mini them - and that's got a 1.3 litre engine) and the Subaru Justy AWD (1.5 litre engine).

I will see if I can find out. I think there are 4wd ones or they might just be FWD. I will check gran turismo lol

It's a system developed by Getrag a while ago ...
