Audi surprised its fans by taking the wraps off its top-of-the-line A1 TFSI hatchback, providing a package for everything, except for the sink and the S1 nameplate. According to some rumours and inside sources, the Quattro all-wheel drive featured every S model in the history of the company, but it seems that the A1`s platform cannot accommodate the basic feature. Probably, they will find a way in the future to accommodate it.
As the UK`s Autocar reveals, it appears that a business case is being developed within the VW Group in order to make the platform accept the extra driveshaft. Thus, the Audi S1 would become Quattro-driven, but the need to justify the cost, the Volkswagen Polo may get a couple of models driven on all fours. Among the models, we can name the Polo R and the CrossPolo soft-roader, which provides actual traction to back up its butch styling.
