Official images of the highly anticipated hybrid Audi A1 Metroproject concept leaked into the net today revealing the pre-production version of the A1. I know this will sound harsh but, I’m hugely disappointed with the concept’s exterior design. The A1 looks like a Skoda Fabia with Audi A3 cues for God’s sake. Plus, as a concept, the A1 is much more aggressively designed than the production version. If this is aggressive, I don’t even want to imagine what the 2009 A1 will be.
Inside, things are better, much better to be exact. Though the cabin will be toned down in the production version, the A1 Concept proves once again that Audi is the king when it comes to interior design.
Since there’s no official release, we’ll have to do with whatever details about the mechanics have been leaked so far. Power is said to come by a 150 Hp 1.4-liter TSI turbocharged engine combined with a 41 Hp electric motor positioned on the rear axle. The latter “absorb” energy from a set of lithium-ion batteries. Until we get our hands on the official press release, enjoy our high res image gallery after the jump. -Continued
