DUAL-CHARGED AUDI A1 1.4 TFSI GIVES UK RANGE ANOTHER BOOST
Latest version of new Audi premium subcompact delivers highest output to date thanks to combined turbocharging and supercharging
As the supercharger takes care of low-range boost, it has been possible to use a larger turbocharger designed with optimum efficiency in mind, and this is reflected in the impressively strong combined cycle fuel economy and low emissions. The S tronic seven-speed twin-clutch transmission directs power to the front wheels as standard, and with its ability to perform gear shifts in just a few hundredths of a second perfectly suits the newcomer's temperament. Its tall seventh gear also reduces fuel consumption.
ESP with limited slip differential McPherson strut front and torsion-beam rear suspension with separate springs and dampers and taut S line settings forms the basis for agile handling, giving keen turn in and impressive mid-corner stability and grip. Control under pressure is also safeguarded by the latest ESP stabilization program with electronic axle differential lock, which initiates very brief braking of the inside front wheel when its sensors detect an impending loss of traction during fast cornering.
The performance-oriented S line suspension forms part of the overall S line specification that is standard for the 1.4 TFSI 185PS, and includes features such as an exclusive S line exterior treatment, 17-inch alloy wheels and part leather-upholstered sports seats. This is in addition to the Sport equipment level which already includes remote central locking, air conditioning, electric front windows and mirrors, Bluetooth mobile phone preparation, Driver's Information System and a six-speaker single CD audio system with auxiliary iPod connection linked to a 6.5-inch retractable display.
One for the road - A dual-charged petrol engine delivering 185PS is at the heart of the new A1 performance flagship, the 1.4 TFSI 185PS S line, which is now available to order in the UK priced from £20,705 OTR.
