Only 333 examples of Audi Sport A1 were built a decade ago and these days they can cost as much as a used R8
We’re so used to hot Audi’s prefacing their numerals with S or RS letters that if we mentioned a model called the A1 Quattro, you might presume it was just a mid-spec version of Audi’s smallest car. In reality, it was one of the coolest-looking Audi performance cars ever built, and also one of the rarest. Only 333 A1 Quattro hot hatches were built for the 2013 model year, and even today, a decade on, they still look tight.
The production model featured a stiffer bodyshell, a multi-link rear suspension setup from the TTS sports car, and a modified floorpan to accept the all-wheel drive system that the A1 was never designed to feature.
