Audi A1 quattro 2012, only 333 units of limited

Successful German company Audi A1 family crown with unique top of the range model, the dynamic Quattro A1, limited to just 333 units placed at the head of the compact class. Its two-liter turbo develops 256 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, four-wheel drive Quattro all-wheel drive. The new model accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.7 seconds and has a top speed of 245 km / h

The A1 Quattro is powered by a 2.0 TFSI engine of 1984 cc; four-cylinder engine combines direct fuel injection with turbo charging Audi classic style. Among the remarkable features is the variable valve timing for intake camshaft and two balancing shafts. Torque available between 2,500 and 4,500 rpm

every detail of the sporty four-cylinder engine and tunable has been optimized for high performance and low consumption. Common rail injection, turbocharger with intercooler and oil pump are just some examples. Awaiting approval is expected to consume 8.5 Quattro Audi A1 l/100 km (11.76 km / l).

The 2.0 TFSI delivers power to the Quattro permanent all-wheel drive for, for years known as the Quattro drive through proper six-speed gearbox, putting technology at the forefront of a compact car. The heart of this system is an electronically controlled clutch, hydraulically operated multi-disc, which in turn drives an oil bath.

During normal driving most clutches sends engine power to front wheels. If the traction decreases, the coupling can transfer electricity continuously in the back in just a few milliseconds, forcing discs equivalent to the power set. An electric pump pressure tank helps to develop the oil pressure. If one wheel on one axis begins to skid, it is hampered by an electronic differential lock (EDL).

Placement of multi-plate clutch in the rear offers a harmonious distribution of the load, and the chassis of the Audi A1 Quattro has been adapted to the dynamics of transmission. McPherson strut front suspension while the rear wheel using the four arms, and spring damping is stronger than in the rest of the Audi A1. Power steering is sensitive and efficient hydraulic operation sporty and direct, with a radius of 14, 8:1.
