Audi's top-spec A1 1.4 TFSI to cost £20,705, topping range until quattro version arrives.
Audi has named its price for the fastest A1 yet. Boasting a hot-hatch-baiting 183bhp and 250Nm of torque, it uses the same 1.4-litre twin-charged engine as lesser models in the range, but tweaked to extract extra performance.
That translates to a scant 0-62mph sprint time of just 6.9 seconds and 141mph top speed, truly impressive figures for any supermini. What's more, the small capacity engine means that the A1 1.4 TFSI is still capable of returning 47.9mpg on the combined cycle and emits just 139g/km of C02.
The front-wheel drive newcomer also comes with Audi's seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, and XDS electronic diff and S line trim as standard. The S line spec includes sporty exterior styling, 17-inch alloy wheels and leather trimmed sport seats on top of the generous standard kit.
There is a price to pay however, as the A1 1.4 TFSI will set buyers back £20,705 when it goes on sale this week, but will remain at the top of the range until the quattro four-wheel drive version arrives later this year.
