Information Specification Modification Image Review 2012Audi A1 Quattro
The 2012 A1 Quattro is a new limited edition subcompact hatch from Audi. Highlights of this model include a 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected four-cylinder engine, something normally seen in Audi’s S3 model. Key highlights include a 252 horsepower engine offering a 70 hp improvement on the original A1 model. While every technical spec is not yet available, the German car maker promises the car will match the S3′s 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds, which needless to say will make many take notice. The exterior of it is in line with many of Audi’s sophisticated and sporty looking bodies, while the interior has an upgraded instrument panel, aluminum pedals and red contrast stitching on the leather seats. This model is set to release sometime late next year and unfortunately will only be made in a quantity of 333. Unfortunately it will not be available stateside.

It’s got a double-clutch S-tronic gearbox, hasn’t it?

Actually it hasn’t. The prototype four-wheel drive A1 we tested earlier this year had a six-speed manual, and so does this production A1 Quattro. And enthusiasts should also like the sound of the chassis tweaks: Audi promises this limited-run A1 ‘is much more tautly tuned than the production model’.
Those are changes below the skin though; much more obvious is Glacier White paint (the only colour available) the deep front bumper (that mainly comprises intakes rather than any actual metalwork), red-tinted headlights, sill extensions, twin exhaust pipes, the big rear wing and white alloy wheels. There are 225/35 R18 tyres all round, 312mm front brakes clamped by black callipers, and a three-stage ESP system with a Sport mode and a you’re-on-your-own setting. Inside there’s a red rev counter, and red stitching to contrast with the black Nappa leather.

The new 1.4 TSI CoD unit can run on two-cylinders under low and intermediate loads and when coasting, at engine speeds between 1,400 and 4,000 rpm, and torque between approximately 25 and 75 Nm, to greatly improve fuel economy.
When applied to the four-cylinder engine, the CoD system shuts down the second and third cylinders, which are reactivated as soon as the driver calls for strong acceleration by pressing hard on the gas pedal. 
According to Audi, the switch between two cylinder and four cylinder operations take place in 13 to 35 milliseconds, depending on engine speed, and are carried out "virtually imperceptibly" to the driver and passengers. The 1.4-liter unit is also fitted with a start-stop system.
The 1.4-liter engine itself puts out 138hp (140PS) at 5,000 rpm and 184 lb-ft (250Nm) of torque between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm.
It allows for 0-62 mph (100km/h) acceleration times of 7.9 and 8.0 seconds in the A1 and five-door A1 Sportback equipped with S tronic transmission, and 8.3 and 8.4 seconds in the A3 and A3 Sportback models, respectively. Top speeds are 132mph (212km/h) in all cases.
At launch, Audi will offer the A1 CoD models only with the seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch automatic transmission, and the A3 CoD range exclusively with the six-speed manual gearbox, however, later in the year, both transmissions will become available on all CoD models. 
On the combined cycle test, the three door A1 1.4 TFSI CoD Sport, S line and Black Edition and the five door A1 Sportback Sport can return up to 60.1mpg UK (50mpg US or 4.7 lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of 109g/km, while the S line and Black Edition versions of the five-door, 57.6mpg UK and 113g/km.
The three-door A3 CoD models match the A1s number with a combined fuel economy of 60.1mpg and CO2 output at 109g/km, with the five-door Sportback marginally behind at 58.9mpg UK (49mpg US or 4.8 lt/100km) and 112g/km.
