Design

Having a position of trust with the road – a strong, special characters: Audi A1 less option premiums and the athlete in his class. A pronounced shoulder line that includes color contrast of the archway and C is very strong tendency to the three pillars of the door a unique silhouette. Dimension is also a dynamic document line: 3.95 meters (12.96 feet) long, the latest Audi models are impressive 1.74 meters (5.71 meters) wide but only 1.42 meters (4.66 feet) high. The wheelbase measures 2.47 meters (8.10 meters), the same roof short.

Design Audi A1 is perfectly integrated into the language and unique brand in compact segment – emotional, courageous and progressive. Audi has a reputation for having lots of ideas and innovations from concept car into mass production, and the Audi A1 continue this tradition. Many features and innovative ideas from the year 2007 the Audi A1 project quattro already showcar has made mass production in the Audi A1.

Front bears a clear family resemblance, but the accent unique features and innovations in the details. The single frame grille, for instance, is integrated into the front and with the upper corner represents a new stage of evolution. The key horizontally arranged to emphasize the wide front. Large plastic model of air aspiration with a horizontal bar also contribute to the sporty image of the Audi A1. Fog lights on their outer corners.

Three-dimensional light force also has a special view. Audi A1 is determined and focused on the road. A strong curved wing structure in the light. As with all Audis, the light in the daytime running is standard. With the optional xenon plus units, lights daytime running lights are implemented using LED and guidance. They appear as a homogeneous band of the fixed wing.

Strong design elements: line of tornadoes

Line runs from near and just above the wheel wells, giving the Audi A1 road strong attitude.

Edge of the shadow line under strong tornadoes, strong curved metal plate on the surface of the wing and increased dynamic line above the sill is also characteristic of the brand design language. The same thing applies to the wheel wells so expressive, offering protection to the wheel size to 18 inches, and the ratio of area of metal sheets for greenhouses, which are two-thirds to one third. Side mirror mounted on the doors like a sports car, obviously arched door handles.

Another feature of the Audi sport arch ceiling that flows, which optionally available in one of four color contrast. Arc flows in the C-pillars are flatter than a coupe, rear provides a dynamic schemes highlighted in the roof spoiler.

When viewed from the rear, a boot that covers the wide hatched highlight – a unique new features for the compact class. Typical shape hole. The wedge-shaped tail lights single piece of plastic is also highlighted amplitude and integrated into the design. In combination with more than xenon, rear lights use LED technology.

Body

Audi axiom also applies to the Audi A1: Agency providing quality foundation, for the proper handling, sportsmanship and safety. Two-thirds of the body consists of high and ultra high strength steel of different strength classes.

The strongest of these steels in the form of heat. The blanks are heated in a fire at extreme temperatures directly in the form of water-cooled die pressing. This rapid temperature changes confer resistance to extreme stress. Hot steel in a good way to make 11 percent of the body. They are used to lower the bar in the footwell, in the end of the stringers, in the B-pillar and roof frame – either extreme resistance combined with low weight is very important.

High and ultra high strength steel is an important factor for high torsional rigidity and reduce weight only 221 kilograms (487.22 pounds).

Low aerodynamic covering most of the low, protecting and creating favorable aerodynamic air flow.

The corners and the other edge of the skirt has a sophisticated design that not only lost the drag coefficient, but also improves driving stability at high speed. The area around the grill completely closed so that air reaches the radiator fill the river with almost no losses than to be turbulent. Even subtlety, as the flow of air through the engine compartment has been optimized to the smallest detail in connection with thermo-and aerodynamic.

Another strength is the acoustic. Audi development engineers devote enough attention to the sound radiation from large groups of sheet metal and stiffness. All the areas where troops were induced during driving especially strengthened. A lightweight package with acoustic insulation to the level of the premium cabin.
