According to the British press, the performance version of the new A1, the 2011 Audi S1, has been confirmed for production. In a recent interview, Audi's big boss, Rupert Stadler, has confirmed that the 2011 Audi S1 will come in the near future. However, the S1 name is still a speculation. Mr. Stadler said it's a bit to early to confirm a particular name for the performance version of the Audi A1.
One of the speculations about the engine of the 2011 Audi S1 tends to appear more often in the reports regarding this new version. It seems the new hot S1 will be powered by the company's 2.0 TFSI engine rather than the 1.4-litre as it was previously thought. If this turns out to be true, the 2011 Audi S1 will be quite a "hot" mini.
The 2011 Audi S1 will probably also have a more aggressive exterior styling and sport seats. We'll keep you posted on the S1 as soon as new details emerge.
