The "Audi A1" is Audi's most compact model, measuring less than 4 meters in length. A chicly colored limited edition of the 5-door "Sportback" model has now arrived.
The name "pianissimo" means "very soft" in Italian and is also used as a musical term. Therefore, the interior and exterior are based on a monochrome theme of black and white, inspired by piano keys. The exterior features a combination of Glacier White body color with a Brilliant Black contrast roof.
Turning to the interior, the base is black, with Glacier White colored sleeves for the air vents, and accents of aluminum on the instrument panel and door sill trims.
In addition, the "Navi Xenon Plus Package," which includes the navigation system and bi-xenon package, and the "Convenience Package," featuring advanced key and seat heaters, have been adopted to enhance the equipment.
The powertrain consists of a 1.0-liter 3-cylinder engine producing a maximum output of 95 ps and a maximum torque of 160 Nm. It drives the front wheels through a 7-speed S tronic transmission.
The price is 3.3 million yen, which is 610,000 yen higher than the base model.
