Audi Confirms S1 Will Challenge The Mini Cooper S

Next year will see the launch of a new compact hatch in the form of the Audi A1, which is expected to arrive on the market as a 2011 model.

The car won’t be an affordable city car in the same vein as the Toyota iQ and the production version of the up! concept, but rather a premium compact hatch designed to rival cars like the Mini Cooper. And just like the aforementioned Mini, which has a high-performance Cooper S model, the Audi A1 will have its own sporty S1 variant, as confirmed by the automaker's design director Stefan Sielaff.
