Audi’s new car the A1 to compete with BMW’s Cooper series

Audi are set to unveil their A1 super-mini range of new cars at the Paris Motor show. This series of new cars from Audi are aimed at competing directly with BMW’s Cooper series.

As part of the unveiling Audi have listed the S1 as part of their exhibit as their flagship model. The S1 will follow in the footsteps of the S3 and S4 and if these are anything to go by, Audi’s new cars will be something of a treat to look out for.

The new S1 is to rival the Mini Cooper high-end market and will have a 1.4l engine and will turn out 200bhp capable of 0-60mph in under 6 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. Looks wise the S1 will have a sportier bumper, bigger alloy wheels, upgraded suspension and Audi’s fantastic front grill as well an abundance of interior features.
