Audi reveals five-door version of its future A1 in Paris

Audi will reveal today in Paris the five-door version of its future A1, but as a concept. The new car, officially called A1 Sportback Concept, is the luxury version of the new small platform in Volkswagen group, called PQ25. Skoda Fabia and Seat Ibiza already use it, while the future VW Polo will present it very soon, possibly in March 2009, at the Geneva Motor Show.



As for the new A1, the concept presents the already widely known 1.4 TFSI engine mated to an electric engine, what makes it be a hybrid vehicle. Its transmission is a dual clutch S-Tronic, which helps the small car (only 4 m long) hit 100 km/h, from 0, in 7.9 s and to reach a fuel consumption as low as 25.6 km/l. CO2 emissions are low as well: only 92 g/km.
