Driving the Audi A1 quattro on Snow Looks Like Fun

Usually, limited edition models launched by Audi are made for people with too much money to buy the regular car. That's still true in the case of the A1 quattro, but it's also something built for the fans.
The all-wheel drive supermini is made up of interesting bits. It's got a256 horsepower 2.0-liter engine, a manual gearbox and a chassis built for fun in the snow. Only 333 will be built, and despite a hefty price tag, they should have no problem selling them.

That's because they've turned a small car designed for hairdressers into something that will go from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.7 seconds.

All models sold will be finished in Glacier White metallic with a high-gloss black accent for the roof and other details. It’s also got 18-inch center locking retro alloys and an RS-style body kit.

Olympic snowboards with a contract from Red Bull and 20-year old millionaires who live in the Alps, this is the car for you.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
