Talk about exclusive. Only nineteen examples of the Audi A1 Quattro Limited Edition are
destined for the UK. And only three-hundred and thirty-three are available worldwide.
That makes it rarer than a four-leaf clover, a winning lottery ticket, and an honest MP. And
guess what? This aggressive predator packs a ferocious punch. Its 2.0-litre petrol engine
produces 265PS at 6000rpm - for starters - and 350Nm of torque between 2,500rpm and
4,500rpm. And the result? This tarmac melter roars to 62mph in 5.7 seconds and charges
to a feisty 152mph. As such, it is remarkable that this four-wheel-drive averages 33.2mpg.
The Audi A1 Quattro Limited Edition has other rare features that demand attention.
For starters, every example is finished with striking Glacier White paintwork and has a
high-gloss black roof.
Its huge wheels are white too, and this road legal rocket has red
painted 'wings' in the headlights. These complement the two-colour rear spoiler, twin
exhaust pipes, and exclusive bumpers. This six-speed manual also has an aggressive
interior. Check-out the: hard-disk sat-nav, the booming fourteen speaker sound system,
and the in-your-face LED lighting package. Clearly, this £41,020 car is not to be messed
with. Thank goodness only nineteen examples will prowl through Britain. Could we really
handle more?
