Audi A1: More info!

We found some additional information about the Audi A1.

There are some doubts about what platform could be used in the small Audi: the Polo platform should be out of the running (no 4WD)the next A3/Golf VI platform is likely to be too costly, the A1 could be based on a mix of the Polo platform with components from the previous Golf platform.

Autobild goes on to rumours about possible gasoline engines, all twin-chargers: 1.2 TSI 16V, 110 hp/160 Nm; 1,4 TSI 16V in three power-steps (140 hp/200 Nm, 170 hp/240 Nm, 190 hp/250 Nm). As for diesel engines, in 2010 the conversion from pompe-duse (PD) to the common-rail injection system is likely to be in full swing, so the A1 could mount the current 1.4, 1.9 and 2.0 TDI, or new, currently unkown, engines.

Since this is Audi we are talking about, an S1 version is likely, to compete against the various Mini Cooper S JCW, with a 240 hp variant of the 2.0 Turbo-FSI engine.
