Audi S1

[MKVIIST]

This is a really good ST contender.

I've always been VW guy,Audi I like to,the yellow paint is a no go for me,and FSI =
The yellow interior piece looks out of place,and I'm Not feeling the wheels either . But mmmmm flat bottom steering wheel,wish we could have got one ,I loved my GTI steering wheel.

I agree, ditch the wheels and that weird yellow console piece and it would be pretty appetizing. I do like that yellow stitching though.

This little car is going to have a great following if its priced right

 

[gojagz]

I see that being closer to a Focus ST competitor... Im definitely interested to see how its priced. Im gunna guess $32-37K

 

[capt4inslow]

The Ford Focus is a c-segment vehicle--and Audi's equivalent to it (in terms of vehicle class) is the Audi A3.


This A1 and the Fiesta are b-segment vehicles.

What's the weight?

ok, I guess Im looking at performance and price, not size. When I think "contender", Im thinking comparing performance. When you compare the S1 at 230HP and AWD to the Fiesta ST, I guarantee the S1 would slaughter it in almost every performance category (0-60, 1/2 mile, figure 8, etc).

€50,000 is more like $68,000??

It's easier doing a direct number comparison since the Euro/GBP numbers rarely reflect the prices that the US market pays...

Thats right. $68k. I did it backwards. And that is almost 3 FiSTs.

 

[CivicAssassin]

Or one FiST, and a shitload of parts!

 

[Matt_FiST]

And beer!

 

[Shmi]

Love it, but we'll never see it in the US. Also too expensive!

 

[airjor13]

I don't think its coming over here, europe can keep it

 

[gojagz]

Though the math is right on the conversion, there isn't a direct correlation for Europe price vs. Ours. Look at how much the FiST is in European and do the conversion. It would come up to something like 29-34k, which they obviously aren't over here.

 

[lonelysuperstar]

Price will be ridiculous as always. No better performance per dollar than the ST's.

 

[Matt_FiST]

Fo sho.

Sent from inside a FiST.

 

[Drifter]

Way better performance than the FiSt, sadly. 0-60mph in 5.8 secs.
