Could be the new Audi minicar. From a design standpoint at least.

The overhang is too much and the side profile is weird. However, we know that photos tend to not really show Audi well. Just look at the presence of an A8 on the road vs. a picture.

I think it's perfect. It is just like the sketch! Here's what it would look like with a slightly smaller grille and painted roof:

Compared to the mini I'm sure you can see the A1 will be a winner!

I just noticed the little chequered flag on the wings and grill, clearly a hint at the mini. :hihi:

Forget just the design (I love it!), I've been reading up on this A1 since I've got some time on my hands. Here's the features:

- 1.4l TFSI engine (148bhp) powering front wheels.
- Additional electric engine (40bhp,148lb/ft torque) in the boot - my source told me about this a while back!, but still 240l storage (more than the Mini)
- At slow speeds it can be fully RWD with the only electric engine operating. With both engines it'll be 4WD
- S-tronic gearbox
- 57.7mpg and only 112g/km
- 0-60 in 7.8, 126mph topspeed
- Audi Mobile, used as: mp3 player, stores car preferences & music, navigation system. It's like a handheld MMI system and you can turn on your car from your home and heat up the car before you step into it. How smart ! Look:

I think you're wrong about the chequered flag. I reckon it's because of the NSU's. link: http://www.auto-rennsport-page.de/galerie/bergrennen/20071/21_a.jpg

It so needs that smaller grille HKS, makes it look so much more mature.

Yeah I'm sure it'll be sorted for the production model. Cant wait to see it. As you can see I really like this new A1 Concept, right down to the beautiful paintwork :hihi:

I've got a thing for reds. I prefer deep "candy" reds like Aston Martins. Audi make a nice variation too, and I think BMW have a nice one ;)

Engine's will be from 1.2 to 2.0 litre in volume.
That is: 1.2 to 1.8 litre Petrol 55 to 160 hp and 1.4 to 2.0 litre Diesel 70 to 143 hp.
A future S1 can get a 2.0TFSI with up to 200-250 hp, 6 speed manual/S-Tronic and Quattro.
But a car like that can be heavy like hell and weigh up to 1250 Kg due to Quattro.

A very informative video clip from Audi TV

that's a really nice car. If only I were about 20 again in - let's say - 5 years...
