Audi S1 to feature quattro and 200hp

Audi about-turn means first hot A1 may not be badged 'S1'.

Audi is set to revise its plans for the S1, according to sources close to the brand. It is believed that the S1 was to be front-wheel drive with up to 180hp, similar to the MINI Cooper S, but insiders say that this is not enough for Audi bosses who have decided against badging a front-wheel drive car with the 'S' moniker. Expect to see a four-wheel drive version with over 200hp in the future bearing the name.
