The concept version of the little hatchback won't carry the A1 name; instead, Audi has saddled it with the unwieldy moniker of Metroproject Quattro. There is no mistaking the car for anything but an Audi, with its massive signature grille and such Teutonic design elements as aluminum arches along the edges of the roof. LED lamps are fitted all around, and the vehicle rides on 225/35R18 tires mounted on 10-spoke alloy wheels. The hybrid powertrain, which looks production-bound, consists of a 1.4-liter TFSI gasoline direct-injection engine rated at 150 horsepower and driving the front wheels, teamed with a 41-hp electric motor in the rear. An S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox is mated to the drivetrain. The lithium-ion battery pack has plug-in capability, providing a driving range of 62 miles in pure electric mode. Fuel economy is further enhanced through regenerative braking and an engine stop/start system. Audi claims 0-60-mph acceleration in less than 7.8 seconds and a top speed of 124 mph. On premium fuel, the car returns fuel economy of 48 mpg. The production version of the A1 is expected to reach European dealerships in mid-2009. What this means to you: We may see the gas/electric powertrain in North America, but probably not the car.
