A1 Quattro!

[The Chubby Pirate]

2.0 TFSi engine on Haldex.

Only bringing 19 of them to the UK aswell...

 

[Fletcher]

E: Also what are those black things on the bonnet of your 172, I like very much..

Aerocatches.

 

[Laura]

wow, didn't think normal people would buy one its an insane amount of money for an A1!!

ace cars tho...id love a go in one

 

[BREMBO]

Not for me in looks but appreciate how rare it is!

 

[Slammed172]

They are nothing like comp mo! Look like the th's

Love the car, we have a a1 competition line as a daily

WTF am I on about, I meant Turbines and Cup spoiler. My bad.

 

[Alastair.]

Looks awesome apart from the wheels.

 

[ant_r27]

Heroic choice!!!


I know everyone keeps banging on about the price, but surely its not as crazy a purchase as it seems?


Would have thought the rarity value could help the car keeps its value better than a lot of other "new" cars you'd get at a £40k pricepoint.


Compared to say a E92 M3, I know which I'd bet on to be worth more in 3 years time.

 

[SuperJ]

Chavtastic looking.

 

[Ash.]

So much want!!!!! I don't care what people say id buy that in a flash!!! Lhd I wouldn't care. That's cheap if they do only let 19 into the uk 20years time it'll be worth 40k again if not more!

Total hero.

 

[Clio172T]

He said thanks for all the lovely comments I will stick the go pro on the side and take it for a spin and upload it for you all

 

[Englebert]

Awesome. Will he actually use it as a daily, or is it going to be kept as a garage queen?

 

[Clio172T]

He has a gs1300 bm bike that he will use sometimes so half and half really

 

[Laura]

just seen this in the flesh. very nice, makes the interior on my a1 look poor!

 

[Rob]

I think it looks horrific, if Vauxhall bought out a car with similar styling choices we'd be calling it a "chav chariot" and laughing about what idiot was willing to pay £xxxxx for it.

 

[Laura]

i think the styling is a little wayward.... but you have to apprichiate the coolness haha

 

[Gally]

But Vauxhall doesn't have the image to pull it off. Audis aren't chavvy per se'.

It's like Bmw brining out something that looks like a Focus Rs, the M3 GT think for eg, it's not chavvy.

 

[Rob]

Sorry, but bulls**t.

You can't make something as rude boi as that and just get away with it because it's an Audi.

Big badman wing, rear van tints, wheels that'd look at home on a fiat 500.... Interior looks nice though.

Audi's are already starting to be driven by 20-somethings with slick hair trying to get onto TOWIE, this doesn't help.

 

[danzel]

I think it's awesome! Are they only available in LHD?

 

[Gally]

Sorry, but bulls**t.

I have to disagree Robbo. Call it badge snobbery or any pisch like that. Compare the Corsa Vxr to the Mk1 Mini GP. One chavvy the other imo is not but they have big wings and vents and s**t.

 

[Rob]

We'll have to agree to disagree Gallister.

I do however know that if I happened to have such a car, then got asked to go pick a client up and go for lunch or similar, I'd be quite embarrassed pulling up in that. It's just too badman, I don't even like the styling. It seems to have taken inspiration from the focus RS but isn't quite as aggressive, maybe with some better, aggressive looking wheels, it'd be miles better.

 

[gex23]

Awful, garish, awkward and vulgar.

Also the arch gap on that makes my R26 look 'flush!

 

[STICKER TWONK]

Sorry, flicked through this thread and saw £40,000, surely thats gotta be a typo? £40,000? I've just looked on Audi's website and you can buy, brand new, a S4 Black Edition Quattro with 333PS for £40,080 OTR. That A1 looks like its been through Halfords and drove out with all their styling bits stuck on, very tacky imo. And again, 40k, Audi must be creasing everytime they sell one.

 

[MarkCup]

Awful, garish, awkward and vulgar.

+1

I'm with Rob...there's a whole lot of hypocrisy going on in here!

 

[Jay_G]

Everything looks so out of proportion. That spoiler is massive, and them wheels don't suit it.

IMO. Interior is lovely though

 

[DanEdser]

needs turini's.

 

[Fletcher]

Hardwoods Audi down the road has one in the showroom. I quite like them TBH, but if I had a spare 40k I would buy a 1M without hesitation.

 

[Iain C]

Saw the concept at lemas a few years ago. Great looking car and i hate the a1. Thought it might be quicker than that tho.

 

[Edd]

If it had the TTRS lump I could forgive the styling.

But still, it sounds like buying one was an easy way to make £10k.

 

[Gaz.]

Just checking...

Yeah it still looks w**k. Crying at £40k, you'd have to be some kind of special to spend that on it.

 

[Edd]

What and then sell it for £50k?

 

[Gaz.]

I'm not talking about to sell on, making money on it is fine, but I doubt Joe public are doing that.

I can't see why on earth anybody would spend that kind of money for a terrible looking jumped up supermini to actually own, considering what else can be had for that kind of money.

 

[Edd]

I agree, you'd have to be a little bit special to buy it for 40k and not sell for 50k. Unless you are an ethusiast/collector and are going to keep it in a air tight, heated garage for most of it's life.

 

[timmyd]

To be honest, there's not many cars out there that you could buy and sell on for more...
Plus it's a special edition, like a Clio V6.

 

[Gally]

And the new mini GP is 30k. Bit of perspective.

 

[gex23]

Do the design team at Audi really think that this car's a good looking car - honestly looks like it's been driven through my local Halfords branch - specifically the ripspeed subsection....

IMO the only reason it's 'wanted' is the low production number.... and that's it.

 

[Rob]

Glad I bought the haters out of the woodwork, there was far too many audi based hard-on's in here.

 

[Gally]

Where did you buy them from Robbo?

 

[Rob]

From somewhere with class


Good spot. f**ker

 

[welshname]

It looks like someone from Audi saw an Ab...Fiat 500, started to have a fit and then sketched this up mid seizure.

 

[JD]

I love Audi styling.

I hate the styling on that. Although the non-Quattro one that has rude boi stripes down it as well is worse.
