Audi A1 will come without the quattro all-wheel drive system

According to the latest reports from the German magazine Autobild, it appears that the upcoming Audi A1, the car which will take on the Mini Cooper, will not be offered with the famous quattro all-wheel drive system. Why? Well, sincer the Volkswagen Polo is so popular without the AWD system, why should’t the A1 follow the same path?

But, there is some good news though: the sport version of the A1, the S1 will receive the quattro all-wheel drive system. The new S1 will carry around 180 hp and with the AWD system installed will be capable to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds while the top speed will be limited at 227 km/h.

What's the point of buying the A1 than? Just get the VW version for less money.

Funny! I was just about to ask you why buy a Lexus when you can get a Toyota for less! Toyota + Lexus = same thing!
