Audi is known to be working on its own hot version of the A1, but German tuning firm ABT has beaten it to the punch with its 210hp A1.
ABT has retuned the 1.4-litre TFSI petrol engine and added its own exhaust to free up 210hp. That's enough to see the A1 from 0-100km/h in 6.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 240km/h. ABT also claims to have improved the throttle response compared to the standard A1's for a more enjoyable drive.
Also part of the ABT upgrade are 18-inch alloy wheels, twin-pipe exhaust and a body kit that comprises front and rear spoilers, side skirts and front air vents. The suspension comes in for ABT's treatment too with lowered and stiffer springs. Inside, the cabin gets a makeover with ABT upholstery and carpets.
