The First Official Audi A1 Sketches Break Cover

We always knew that CAR's Georg Kacher is one of the best connected motoring journalists in the world. But even we were surprised when he rang the office with news that he'd 'obtained' official design sketches of Audi's new Mini, the A1.

S1 only to have 200 hp? Better go back to the drawing board since BMW's already announced a 135i. Maybe a turbo charged 2.5L? Still not sure how the A1's going to jive with the A3.

A1 is smaller than A3 thus smaller than 1 series...
it will be against the 2 series Beemer.

I have no problem with that grille -- it looks like it's going to swallow everything in sight with one gulp -- pretty scary huh? It's too small for me unless they make it a one-seater but I need a minimum of 2 seats plus a little more luggage room than I have in my current A6 Quattro.
