Vorsprung durch Technik

Three words that express

the very essence of Audi.

Vorsprung durch Technik isn’t

a slogan. It’s our way of seeing

the world. It is the driving

force behind our history of

innovation that continues

into the 21st century. Indeed,

many technologies that Audi

pioneered remain in our cars

today. Some are milestones in

the history of the motorcar.

From our beginnings in 1899,

to the Auto Union team’s Grand

Prix successes in the 1930s and

our more recent wins at Le Mans,

we have always been at the

forefront of the motor industry.

Vorsprung durch Technik makes

us who we are. To see more of

its influence, just read on.

The Audi A1 – a big idea condensed

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that

contain the biggest ideas: the humble paper

clip, the tungsten filament, the pocket army

knife. The Audi A1 is no exception. This car

is a distillation of all the great technologies

which came before it – many of which appear

in the flagship A8.

Featuring TDI® and FSI® engines born and

bred on the racetrack and cutting edge

technologies such as Start-Stop and S tronic®,

this is amongst our most efficient cars.

A1 interior story

We’ve introduced a number of finishing

touches to the Audi A1 interior to make your

driving experience both comfortable and

unique. You’ll find an impressive attention to

detail in everything from the 6.5” manually

retractable TFT colour display screen to the

optional luxurious leather seating, which

means that every journey you make will be

a personal one.

Engines

Petrol

FSI® direct-injection technology is a unique Audi

innovation that was originally developed for the

Le Mans 24-hour endurance race to deliver more

power and torque, as well as enhanced fuel efficiency.

Precisely the right amount of fuel and air are injected

into the combustion chambers, enabling the engine

to ‘breathe’ more easily. It results in reduced heat

loss and increased output, with around a 15%

reduction in fuel consumption and significantly lower

exhaust emissions. We’ve also developed TFSI® with

turbocharging – giving cars an extra injection of power.

Diesel

We introduced TDI® to the roads in 1989, and since

then, we’ve continuously refined it, including developing

common-rail technology. Under this system, a series of

piezo injectors use electrical charge to precisely control

the amount of fuel injected into the engine. As well

as reducing noise, this allows combustion to happen

at a lower temperature, with less oxygen, which

lowers emissions.

Images are for illustrative purposes only.

Transmission

S tronic®

Driving is all about thinking ahead, which is just what the

S tronic® dual-clutch transmission does. It works almost

as two separate systems, one engaging the odd-numbered

and the other the even-numbered gears. So when you’re

accelerating in second, it has third gear waiting for you. And

once you make the switch, it’s already thinking about fourth.

With two clutches working together, you can change gears

almost instantly while experiencing smooth, uninterrupted

power. S tronic® is available on 1.4 TFSI models.

Efficiency

At Audi, doing less is something we’re trying

to do more of. We’re working to use less fuel,

release less CO

we’ve incorporated a number of more efficient

technologies into the Audi A1.

TDI® and FSI®

Inside the engine of the A1, you’ll find the same

advanced fuel-injection technology that’s driven us

to win after win at Le Mans. With TDI® and FSI®,

fuel is injected directly into the engine’s chambers

so that combustion is timed right down to the

millisecond. As a result, waste is minimised and

you get the most from every last drop of fuel.

Automatic Start-Stop function

In traffic, your car still uses fuel and releases

2, even when it’s stationary. The automatic

Start-Stop function is a smart new technology

that counteracts this problem by being able to

switch off the engine when your A1 comes to

a standstill. As soon as you touch the clutch the

car restarts. By only using the engine when it’s

needed, it helps to save fuel and reduce

emissions – especially in heavy urban traffic.

2 and waste less energy. It’s why

Image for illustrative purposes only.

Audi cylinder-on-demand

Dynamic performance does not necessarily

equate to higher consumption – as the 1.4 TFSI®

(140PS) cylinder-on-demand engine proves. Using

advanced cylinder-on-demand technology to

automatically shut down two of the four cylinders

when the engine is operating at lower loads,

particularly when cruising on the motorway or in

city traffic, you benefit from the efficiency and low

emissions of a comparable diesel engine. Out on the

open road meanwhile, the instantaneous power of

TFSI® – combining turbocharging with petrol direct

injection – is ready and waiting.

Recuperation

When a vehicle brakes, the discs convert the kinetic

energy into thermal energy, which is wasted as

it cannot be used. With a recuperation system,

like the one in the Audi A1, the kinetic energy is

converted into useful electrical energy. The way it

works is simple. While the car is coasting or braking,

the alternator voltage is raised above the level of the

basic electrical system, which enables the alternator

to generate electrical energy and store it temporarily

in the battery. When the vehicle accelerates, this

energy is used to relieve the load on the alternator,

resulting in a fuel saving of up to 3%.

Technology

Concert radio

A technologically-advanced car needs a sound system to

match – one designed to enhance the thrilling experience

of every drive. The standard Concert radio incorporates an

MP3-compatible CD player, AUX-IN socket, SD memory card

reader and a 6.5” retractable display. Six high-performance

speakers complete with two ‘tweeters’ work together to

produce a sound to enliven any journey.

BOSE® surround sound system

The A1’s exterior is a perfect example of modern design.

This is complemented inside, where you’ll find state-of-

the-art technology throughout the cabin. Options include

a BOSE® surround sound system with 14 high-performance

speakers and a subwoofer. The speaker housings are

enhanced with bevelled edges. Thanks to a 10-channel

amplifier, the speakers deliver 465 watts of rich and clear

sound, creating a rewarding listening experience. For more

information, please see page 70.

LED technology

Xenon Plus headlights are available on all trim levels of

the Audi A1. With Xenon Plus headlights you’ll benefit

from LED daytime-running lights, which provide a distinctive

look with a unique, flowing design. Special reflectors focus

the light emitted by each diode to create a powerful,

uniform beam. And this technology also features in the

rear lights, creating a striking design that is unmistakably

Audi. For more information, please see page 68 and 74.

quattro® permanent all-wheel-drive

It’s the technology that has given Audi the edge on the

rally circuit ever since it was first introduced over 30 years

ago – a technology that delivers ultimate control whilst

enhancing the sporty characteristics which makes the Audi

S1 so thrilling to drive. It’s called quattro

wheel-drive. The principle is simple: in the same way that

four brakes ensure better deceleration, four permanently-

driven wheels deliver better acceleration and road-holding,

pushing or pulling the car as needed, for a driving experience

that’s both dynamic and safe.

In the Audi S1, quattro® all-wheel-drive continuously

distributes drive power between the front and rear axles

depending on weather conditions, road surface and gradient,

which increases flexibility for an enhanced, sportier drive.

permanent all-

Technology package

The Audi A1 keeps many of its most impressive technologies

concealed beneath sculptured bodywork and high-class

interior finishing. The optional technology package with

HDD-based Satellite Navigation system, for example,

gives you intuitive control of your car’s communication,

information, navigation and entertainment functions. The

MMI eight-way joystick lets you navigate maps quickly and

easily in both 2D and 3D, while you can also use the Audi

Music Interface to connect your iPod or the Bluetooth

interface to stream music wirelessly from your mobile

phone. There’s plenty of room to store your favourites too,

as 20GB of the hard drive can be used to store up to 8,000

songs. For more information, please see page 68.

Mobile telephone preparation – High with Audi connect

If you choose the technology package, you can also specify

mobile telephone preparation – High, with Audi connect.

Setting standards in this class of car, it lets you keep

completely up to date with online information services and

turns your A1 into a Wi-Fi hotspot. So when you take a trip,

you won’t just be able to check the weather before you leave,

you’ll also have access to the latest forecast throughout your

journey. Audi traffic information online gives you real-time

forecasts of the traffic along your chosen route, and will

re-direct you if a quicker way is available. Thanks to Wi-Fi

connectivity, your passengers can access the internet in the

car, so they can check emails and browse the web using a

laptop, tablet or smartphone. And finding your destination

is easier too, as navigation through Google Earth and Google

Street View makes it possible to identify real-life details and

search for local landmarks and other points of interest.
