Have you ever wondered what your all-wheel drive Audi is good for if it just won’t go offloading? This is what it was built for, finding traction under... unpleasant road conditions.
With only 333 to be built, you’re likely never going to get your hands on one of these A1 quattros, so Audi did the right thing by showing what the limited edition model has got to offer.
The car that we long confused for an RS1 until Audi actually showed what it was is powered by a 2.0-liter TFSI petrol engine that generates 256 ps and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.
It does 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.7 seconds and looks poised and balanced on the snow and ice. It’s also got some very unique retro wheels like the original Quattro had, an RS-style front fascia and a Glacier White metallic paintjob with black accents.
