RE: ABT Audi A1 quattro

[ikarl]

I like those wheels

[pSyCoSiS]

I really like the Audi A1 - good looking little car, which has more class than most of it's peers.

This is a good effort, and I love those wheels (reminiscent of rally Audi Quattros)

[TC33]

Do all these read as 1 of 333 or has Stafford Audi really got No.1 of 333???

[Gixer_fan]

'ABT says its car doesn't incur any additional penalties in terms of fuel economy and emissions.'

So you can get nearly 20% more power without using more fuel?
Presumably only if you don't actually use the extra power..

[MrTappets]

0-60 in 5.4? Unless about 4 seconds of that is turbo lag this isn't terribly impressive.

[Alfa159Ti]

Those Ronals are awesome.

They manage to be both retro and futuristic at the same time.

How is that even possible?

"exhaust swop"

Would absolutely love one !!

307bhp in a car that weighs the same as a biscuit?

Except that modern biscuits are heavy - they used to be light because they didn't have to meet strict teeth resistance guidelines - so we had the NICE and Digestives by the tube but with modern Health and Safety/Fat People pressing down ever more on the industry we now have things like the Rocky Road and the Hob Nob Energy Bar, weighed down with chocolate and syrup and marshmallow and other extras no-one really needs and which, as a result, weigh the same as a small post office...

and cost a lot...

and make you a fat git...

What I really want to know is when A1s will be 3 for 2 at Morrisons...

We conducted a Biscuit Integrity Test a few years back (us bankers are busy types) and no prizes for guessing, after a 30 second dunk, the Shortbread biscuit came out on top

Digestives were 2nd followed by Hob Nobs in 3rd

Apparently #1 of 333 is currently outside Canary Wharf tube station (as of 30mins ago) if I remember the sign correctly.

so much want

[TaylotS2K]

I'm not a fan of the A1 styling wise either, but I kind of like this - looks a bit retro with those wheels.

[Wheelrepairit]

The alloys seem to attract kerbs, we have refurbed 2, on separate cars over the last 2 days.

Both undelivered to customers, naughty Audi dealers.

[Stack]

I love those wheels, they remind me of the OZ ones you used to see on rally cars

Fun Time Frankie

I actually quite like that, probably the only car I would buy brand new. That and a new Jaaag. So when is the S1 supposed to be released?

Quite. Except this weighs more like a big slab of flapjack.

[tobiah]

0-60 time seems a bit poor for the power. I wonder what 0-100 time is

[SonicHedgeHog]

Really like it, but it's £15,000 too expensive. They're only making a few so they'll all sell, but when will someone make a car I want that isn't priced to encourage me to punch the salesman in the face?

[Charge99]

Hi, I would be interested in one of these, I would trade my F355, my Mk5 VW Golf GT TDi and my Renault Sport Megane 230 F1 Team do dah, along with my Pistonheads membership and my sanity!

[oj121]

I really DONT like those wheels. Id have to take one in black if forced as well.

[Ocellia]

Over 300 bhp in a car that size? Crazy! Just overkill really!
Bit like car equivalent of shoulder pads from 70s!
