Audi A1 Quattro

Power to weight ratio tables (power to weight ratio) has not been one in the production of high-powered car. Last, the compact car segment will vibrate with the birth of a limited edition Audi A1.

The car is claimed by its manufacturer as the most powerful and fast car in its class ever built. Audi A1 is equipped with all-wheel drive system (all-wheel-drive) QUATTRO and is the first small car loaded with large-capacity petrol engines with power up to 256PS.

Limited to 333 units, model A1 QUATTRO bersesaran turbo engine is equipped with 2.0 liter four-cylinder direct injection with a maximum power of 256ps at 6,000 rpm.

Encouragement is also a large peak of 350Nm at between 2,500 rpm to 4,500 rpm. The figures make the acceleration from zero to 100 kilometers per hour (km / h) takes just 5.7 seconds with a maximum speed of 280km / h. Should know, the A1 only compact in size, about the size of the Suzuki Swift.

Equipment or 'toyol' - verse often used by fans of cars included modifications to the engine cam shaft A1 QUATTRO is an adjustable input and two balancer shaft to ensure smooth operations. In addition to the high-pressure common-rail injection and a turbocharger with an intercooler (intercooler).

Oil pump is adjusted to make sure the engine is not only powerful, but at the same time is economical. Engine power transferred through a six-speed manual transmission all-wheel-drive system that is synonymous with the QUATTRO Audi brand.

During normal driving, the clutch sends engine power to the majority of the front wheel. If the pull (traction) decreases, the power will be sent to the rear axle is just within a few milliseconds (one thousandth of a second).

If one of the wheels began to slip, it will be stopped by the electronic differential lock (EDL).

The system ESP (electronic stability program) is also equipped with a sport mode that can be erased if the driver wishes to drive the circuit.

QUATTRO Audi A1 chassis is built to suit a package of high-power engine, with multi-plate clutch located on the rear axle for optimum weight distribution. Front suspension is McPherson type, while the rear setup is the type of four-link.

Covered with the exclusive Glacier White color metallic, shiny black roof (high gloss) and other features such as 18-inch alloy wheels with a turbine design sedondon color of the car body, the Audi A1 QUATTRO highly skilled and prominent, in accordance with the limited edition.

QUATTRO badges

Not limited to, the Audi A1 QUATTRO model distinguishes itself from the usual A1 through some unique features such as front and rear bumper designs, grille and frame, the red wing of the main lights, large rear spoiler and dual-color two pieces of pipe (tail pipe) the exhaust.

Other finishing touches such as rear lights are LEDs and tinted rear windows, black boots and a diffuser. The most expensive is the badge on the grille QUATTRO, roof and bonnet behind the statue, which would only be eligible to be affixed on the 333 units of the model.

Length 3.987 mm, A1 QUATTRO 33mm longer than standard A1 model. Other dimensions are the same.

Hand luggage capacity is increased to 210 liters and 860 liters when the seats folded. QUATTRO A1 interior, according to its performance image with dark dirias starting from a section through to the center console and seats perehat arm wrapped in Silk Nappa leather that Dikontrakan with red embroidery thread.

More beautiful and add an exclusive, front seats embroidered with the writing QUATTRO. Cluster meter has a number of cosmetic features such as white-colored needles, meter speed with a red background, logo QUATTRO and DIS (Driver's Information System).

With the specifications and performance of the QUATTRO Audi A1, I believe it will make some of us drooling. But, it will be more gutter as to your knowledge, only 333 units sold in the form of left-hand drive and in some European markets only.

In Malaysia, the car of any kind, or the equivalent of expensive imported've got in, but such a compact car and added the left-hand drive, only one question to be asked is, have courage? This then really exclusive, though is not Ferrari, Lamborghini or Pagani Zonda.

Audi Models Earn Top Safety

2009-04-01T06:08:00.000-07:00

Four Audi Models Earn Top Safety Marks in 2009 Awards from IIHS

- Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recognized the Audi A3, A4, A6 and Q7
- Audi has earned multiple IIHS Top Safety Pick awards the past three years
- Audi wins more awards than competitors BMW, Mercedes and Lexus

HERNDON, Va., Nov 26, 2008 - Audi's reputation as a leader in automotive safety gained added validation with four of its best-selling models claiming Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick awards for 2009.

Winning the highly sought safety award were the Audi A3, the all-new Audi A4, the Audi A6 and the Audi Q7. The award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting passengers in front, side and rear collisions. All of the winners also had to have electronic stability control, which IIHS credits with significantly lowering crash risks.

"Protecting the drivers of our vehicles, and their passengers, is at the top of Audi's priority list and we're delighted to clearly stand above other European luxury carmakers," said Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president, Audi of America. "Safety is woven into the earliest consideration of how our different models should look and perform. We're grateful the Insurance Institute has recognized this singular focus of ours."

This marks the second consecutive year that four Audi models have earned this important safety award. The Audi Q7, Audi A6, Audi A4, and Audi A3 all received the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award in 2008. The Audi A6 and A4 received the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award in 2007. IIHS launched the safety awards in 2006.

The four awards collected by Audi models exceeded the number of awards given to BMW, Mercedes-Benz or Lexus models. Additionally, some Audi models, including the Audi R8 sports car, the Audi A5 coupe, and the Audi A8 luxury sedan did not fall within the IIHS test program at this time.

IIHS evaluates each vehicle for front crashworthiness following a 40 mph offset collision. Calculations are made on the level of intrusion the crash causes in the occupant compartment and the impact recorded by crash test dummies. Side impact evaluations involve crashing a barrier into the side of a vehicle at 31 mph. Rear crash protection involves measuring the geometry of head restraints. Vehicles with good or acceptable measurements are then struck in the rear at 20 mph. source

North American International Auto Show

2009-02-05T22:26:00.000-08:00

Showcased at the 2009 North American International Auto Show was the R8 V10 - the result of cumulative know-how from Audi’s string of Le Mans victories.

* The new 5.2-liter, ten-cylinder engine puts out 525 hp
* Sprint to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, top speed 316 km/h
* High-performance sports car with striking design

The V10 engine in the production sports car will be almost identical in construction to the one in the racing version. Its displacement is 5,204 cc, at 6,500 rpm it delivers 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque, at 8,000 rpm its power tops out at 386 kW (525 hp).

The specific power output is 100.9 hp per liter of displacement - and each hp has to propel only 3.09 kilograms (6.91 lb) of weight, because the Audi R8 V10 in the version with the six-speed manual gearshift weighs only 1,620 kilograms (3571 lb). The engine accounts for 258 of these kilograms (569 lb) - that's only 31 kilos (68 lb) more than the V8.more
