Audi continues to remain on top for a premium car manufacturer. German manufacturer launched a sub-compact A1 quattro, which mentioned a car with surprising performance.


Unfortunately, the Audi A1 quattro is still limited only to the UK market. Audi A1 quattro has not assemble with right rudder. Manufacturers with the four rings emblem will bring 20 units to the UK, from a total of 333 units produced.

As reported by Autocar, Wednesday (01/25/2012), Audi already received several orders for the A1 quattro variants of this. It is expected that 20 units can be supplied in demand until the end of this year.

Audi A1 quattro uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. This capacity provides 256 horsepower at 6,000 rpm engine speed and peak torque of 350 Nm (258.2 pounds-ft) between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm.


The car uses a six-speed manual gearbox to send power to the quattro All Wheel Drive system. A1 quattro is able to accelerate 0-62 mph (0-100 km / h) in just 5.7 seconds. The highest speed can penetrate 152 mph (245 km / h).

The future has been less rosy for Mazda. Currently, sales are going for the better. The CX-5 is a true success, and North American dealers wanting more. In 2014, the Japanese manufacturer has come up with an intermediary who has the difficult task of measuring the Camry, Accord, Sonata and Optima of this world. To do this, it is inspired by the Takeri concept and technology to offer a Mazda6 2014 lighter, more fun to drive, more efficient, more energy efficient and more attractive.

Mechanical in Mazda6 2014

It seems already clear that the Mazda6 2014 will not offer V6 engine in version 2014. If Europeans are entitled to five engine choices, North Americans will have only one choice. And this mechanism is the 4-cylinder SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter that develops a power that is comparable to that of its competitors who offer only 4-cylinder. In fact this engine develops 189 horsepower and a torque of 189 lb-ft. Regarding gearboxes, you will have the choice between a manual or a 6-speed automatic.

However, it is interesting to note that in Mazda6 2014 engineers have managed to subtract 153 pounds to the weight of which is now 6 1 357 pounds and improved torsional stiffness of the chassis by 30%. Thus, the new 6 will be able to complete the 0-100 km / h in under 8 seconds and reach a top speed of nearly 225 km / h. Obviously, also, the SKYACTIV technology this car it will display a fuel consumption of just over 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Europeans will have the chance to enjoy the stop-start technology on the Mazda6 2014, which is far from certain for North American consumers. However, it seems that we have the right to regenerative braking system i-ELOOP later in 2014.

Body and interior of Mazda6 2014

There are a certain number of elements of the Takeri concept in the Mazda6 2014. We can mention the long bonnet, headlamps emitting diode and the drag coefficient of only 0.26. The trunk has a larger opening on the new model, it also displays a capacity of 490 liters, which is well above the average of intermediaries. However, the 6 is slightly smaller than its main competitors.

The interior of the Mazda6 2014 is obviously a pleasant surprise. The instrument cluster will be applied metal. And what is the materials used inside are not talking about hard plastic material but rather pleasant to the touch and of good quality. The steering wheel is relatively small, but it is thick and leather-wrapped good.
