Two Body Colors. Three Specification Types.



A new special edition has arrived in Europe exclusively for the "A1" and "A1 Sportback," Audi's most compact line within the Audi family. Named "A1 Amplified," this model features accessory parts handled by quattro GmbH, the company behind Audi's high-end sports models "S" and "RS" series. It is available for all A1 engine versions. The body comes in two colors: "Misano Red," a vibrant red with pearl effect, and "Gracia White," which emphasizes a metallic feel. There are three specification types: "Amplified," "Amplified Plus," and "Amplified Advance."












The exterior of the most standard "Amplified" model features a glossy black finish for the roof, roof spoiler, and Singleframe grille, along with stripes running from the hood to the rear hatch. It rides on 17-inch, 5-arm design wheels, giving it an even sharper and sportier impression. Inside, the air vents match the body color, and the sports seats feature red or gray stitching, creating an interior that excites the driver.

Next is the "Amplified Plus." In addition to the "Amplified" specifications, this model includes LED interior lighting, stainless steel pedals, aerodynamic parts, and a matte black tailpipe. Audi's commitment to car manufacturing, which balances a racing aesthetic with elegance, is evident in this A1 as well.

Finally, there is the "Amplified Advance." This is the top-tier model of the "A1 Amplified." It boasts a wide range of features, including Nappa leather S line seats, privacy glass (rear seats), Xenon plus headlights, matte black 18-inch alloy wheels, and a larger roof spoiler, incorporating elements of the S line sports package throughout. It is truly the sportiest model, befitting the name "Special."

Introduction in Japan Undecided


The pricing is as follows: "Amplified" is 1,990 euros (approximately 200,000 yen), "Amplified Plus" is 3,990 euros (approximately 390,000 yen), and "Amplified Advance" is 6,990 euros (approximately 700,000 yen), in addition to the vehicle's base price. Orders for the red "Misano Red" body have already started, with "Gracia White" scheduled to be released slightly later. The "A1" line is highly popular in Japan. With premium compact cars currently in vogue, we hope for its introduction into the domestic market.
