The A1 Quattro also has a six-speed manual, but packs 256 horsepower. Even though Audi has created two performance versions of the A1, there has still been speculation that the company would release a top-range RS1. This where Automoto comes in, claiming that an internal source from Audi has confirmed the news of an RS1. The S1 already has the same engine as the VW Golf GTI, so adding more power would be possible with some new internals. The rumor is that the RS1 would borrow the engine from the S3 and produce around 300 horsepower. Like other RS cars, the RS1 would probably get a dual-clutch or automatic transmission which would help it launch harder.
