The SUPERmini

Audi has been quite loony lately of the confidence boost that the R8's success has brought them. They've made S this and RS that and it doesn't seem to have an end.

This car though has to be the craziest of them all, the Audi A1 Quattro. By putting a 2 litre turbo pumping out a very super 256 hp in a car the size of a desk fan is absolutely diabolical. The A1 was created so that Audi could compete with the VW Polos and Ford Fiestas but only 5000€ more expensive. It was the richer choice in the supermini wing of cars. This made me hate it almost immediately. Why create a small car that isn't in the price bracket of 80% of the potential buyers? I guess it's because Audi can do that sort of thing. 

What they also can do is stick a powerful engine in it, give it 4-wheel drive and price buyers (here at least) 80 000€ for it.  Lets keep in mind that the big brother called the S3 that has 40 more hp and costs 20 000€ less than the A1 Quattro. Luckily Audi have only made 333 A1 Quattros, because there are not many more mad people in the world that would buy such an overpriced car. 

The A1 Quattro has obviously been made because Audi had some spare parts spread around the factory, which then lead to the question; Which car could we make less sensible? 
Only exclusivity would make me buy this car, and even then, who would notice?

The detailing is quite nice though.
And yes. One of the 333 A1 quattros was found in Monaco
That massive wing is the cars way to say; Hey! I'm special!

All of them RS Audi's


I'm just getting this out there.
Audi has gone completely insane with the RS-line that they've got going on. Almost every car Audi makes has an RS model. When Audi decided to make the RS2 in the 90's it was the ultimate Audi to buy. But now Audi makes the RS1, RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6 and the TT RS. That's many powerful and expensive Audi's for rich people to buy. And now in just a short span of time Audi has threaten to make two more RS loonies. They are the RS7 and the RS Q3.
The RS1 was not really a shocker because a year or so earlier Audi made the RS3 but the two new ones are just... no. Why do we people need an RS Q3, why? I reckon it will cost so much that if someone is thinking of buying one why not buy the RS3 instead which i reckon will be superior to the mad Q3. And what about the RS7. Apparently it wasn't enough to have the S7 or the S8. I get it that the RS7 will be competing with the CLS 63 Merc but still, it's not necessary.
Don't get me wrong I'm a huge Audi fan but this just is too much. So, if you want a special Audi, forget the RS badge and go for an ABT badge instead.
