As TopGear miraculously predicted back in March, Audi will indeed build an S1, a hot version of its new A1 supermini. (That's our Photoshopped image of the hot little Audi above.)
A quicker iteration of the A1 was always highly likely, so this was hardly the most outré prediction we have ever made, and certainly more likely than that one about the squirrels forming an independent nation state by the end of last decade.
Anyhow. This week, Audi boss Rupert Stadler seemed to confirm that his company will indeed produce a small hot hatch rival for the Polo GTI and Mini Cooper. "Sportiness is a core value for the Audi brand," Stadler said, "and we have some clear ideas in this direction."
