Audi RS1 is getting warmer

At this year’s Wörthersee show Audi unwrapped the awesome 370kW A1 clubsport concept car. Not long after they told us Ingolstadt referred to the car as the RS1. Now we have some proof that the car is genuinely being considered.

The car you see above was photographed at Audi headquarters. If you follow the source link below you’ll see more pics. Okay, sure, it’s probably nothing more than an Audi Exclusive creation. But, it does have a quattro drivetrain (as evidenced in the pics) and, well, the rear sway bar wears a sticker with “RS1” on it (see inset).

Of course, there’s nothing official from Audi at the moment, but we very much like the idea of a hi-po RS1 pocket rocket so we’ll take any chance we can to believe such a car will be made.

At the recent Frankfurt Motor Show it was revealed by Volkswagen they would power their new Polo R WRC with a new 300hp 1.6 litre engine. And we reckon right about now you’re thinking what we’re thinking.
