The Audi A1 Quattro is a limited-edition model built in only 333 units that showcases the brand’s engineering expertise and also serves as a tribute to the iconic Audi Quattro. Rare and expensive, the A1 Quattro is basically a pocket rocket that Audi built just to show it could.

The crew from XCar in the UK managed to get their hands on an A1 Quattro for a test drive and were absolutely impressed by it. I mean, who wouldn’t be impressed with an all-wheel drive B-segment premium car that is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine developing 252 bhp?

It can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 152 mph (245 km/h).

While it’s hard to justify a review of a car that has been already sold out and has very little relevance for the UK market since it lacks a right-hand drive version, I’ll admit that the opportunity to test such a car is an offer one can’t refuse. So if you want to better understand the A1 Quattro and its effect on people, just scroll down and watch XCar’s review.
