Some pretty impressive numbers for the subcompact Audi A1 Clubsport Quatro, which is about the same size as a mini. It does weigh more, but that is most attributable to AWD Quatro system and larger engine. Lots of cool goodies.


I sure wish Mini would make an AWD version of the R56.

Wow!

A "one-off" according to the article.

I hope they lend it to the Top Gear crew some day (the UK crew I mean).

Love to see the Stig try that one!

Cheers,

Charlie

 

mini needs to be going foward with figuring how much hp/awd they could cram in the small area.

not a 3cyl engine

 

I am seriously considering an Audi A1 if it ever makes it to the States.

 

That's freaking sick! That thing would be just way too much fun. Not feeling those wheels though, but that's easy enough to fix.

 

Totally agree about the wheels. I am impressed with all the cool goodies on the car but baffled by their choice of wheels.

 

I don't like the cup holders

 

do they remind anyone else of the heads on a rotary razor?

 

Wheels look like buzz saws to me

 

now that you mention it....
