Don't know is this S1 or RS 1, but there will be both, IMHO...
S1 - 1.4 T or 1.6 T
RS 1 - 1.6 T

Nice looking! I'm wondering if any S/RS version of this will even make it Stateside. Hell, if the REGULAR one is yet to be confirmed for our side of the pond yet...

The car on the picture is using Audi's 2,0TFSI and Quattro System.

The S1 will have an engine no bigger than a 1.6L max, the RS1 if it gets the goahead might use it different engine and 2.0L is a possibility. My only concern would be that such an engine might make it excessively nose heavy.

It looks like there will not be a Audi S1 only a RS1.
The S1 name will be protected because of historic value.

That black A1 is the test mule for the "Audi A1 2.0TFSI quattro" it will have 250 hp and will be available with manual and S-Tronic.

A similar situation that BMW were in with the 1M. Still don't get the need for a 2.0L when there is a perfectly decent 1.6L that's already being developed for rally/racing purposes.

BMW call it "Mini Challenge" and Audi will do something simular with this A1
