Stylish and Sporty Exterior and Interior
The "S1" originates from a machine that dominated the WRC (World Rally Championship) in the 1980s. Two limited special editions, inspired by the "A1 Quattro" which was released in Europe in 2012 in a limited run of 333 units, have now been unveiled.
In line with the original A1 Quattro, the exterior features the Black High-Gloss Styling Package from the "Audi exclusive" personalization program. Furthermore, a contrasting roof in Brilliant Black adds a striking accent.
The matte black 18-inch alloy wheels provide a sharp finish, while the headlights are bi-xenon type with red accents. Accents such as "Audi exclusive" colored brake calipers, a dedicated rear wing, and body-colored door mirrors create a stylish and sporty atmosphere.
The interior also features sporty elements like S sport seats and an aluminum shift knob, along with comfort-enhancing features such as heated seats and the BOSE surround sound system.
The powertrain remains the same as the standard S1, combining a 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. It produces a maximum output of 231 ps and a maximum torque of 370 Nm. The ESC (Electronic Stabilization Control), which automatically adjusts torque and other parameters when detecting risks like slips, has been specially tuned.
Body colors include Glacier White Metallic, the same as the original A1 Quattro, as well as Misano Red Pearl Effect and Pagan Yellow. Pricing and sales numbers are as follows: the 3-door S1 quattro Limited Edition starts at 4.49 million yen with a limited run of 25 units. The 5-door S1 Sportback quattro Limited Edition is priced at 4.71 million yen, with 90 units available.
