Audi unveils 500hp A1

a special edition for the Wörthersee Tuning event this year.
(the biggest and most historical VW & Audi gathering in europe)

the specs:

engine: 2.5L turbocharged five-cylinder engine
power: 503 HP + 487 lb-ft of torque
weight: 3,064 pounds
transmission: 6-speed manual
0-60 in 3.7 seconds
0-124 in 10.9 seconds
top speed: 160mph (limited)

Although based on the road-going version of the A1, the clubsport concept has plenty of design changes to separate it from the standard car.
The A1 clubsport quattro stands 2.36 inches wider than the regular A1, forming what Audi calls “blister” edges. Most of the car is finished
in Glacier White matte paint, save for the gloss black roof arches and exposed carbon fiber roof.
Inside the A1 clubsport quattro is pure racer, with front seats taken from the Audi R8 GT and a rear seat delete.
Audi also did away with the A1’s infotainment systems, leaving the driver to focus on the track ahead.

CarreraTurbo is infamous around these parts
I am not sure about the transversely mounted engine on this car. The upcoming Audi Quattro with the same engine would be something to lust about.

255 mph? Would that be measured after it fell out of the back of a cargo plane at 20,000 ft?

I wish!

Terminal velocity of an average size car free falling thru the air would be about 90mph, best case

I think that's a pretty awesome little car with an engine that's all business! I also LOVE the side exhaust!

That is a car that I'm sure I would love to drive and own. The ultimate 2 box car of the decade.
