The Audi metroproject quattro at Tokyo 2007
Watch Audi head designer Stefan Sielaff discuss the new Audi A1’s design with a colleague. Apparently Audi has some interesting things in store for us with the A1’s design. Let’s hope that the new A8 ended up being the bore that it is because they diverted all attention to the A1!
“The new A1 has Audi design in its genes. Like all Audi models, the ratio of greenhouse to body is between 1:3 and 2:3. The front overhang is short, but the wheel wells are pronounced, giving the A1 a wide road stance. The roof arch is a unique characteristic of the Tokyo showcar; there is a certain dynamism in the flow of the A- and C-pillars. The single-frame grille – a central Audi design feature – will identify the A1 as an Audi. But there’s a surprise in store. We’ll do something here, maybe with the corners and the width of the grille. But more on that in January 2010,” says Sielaff.
Look after the jump to watch some videos of the A1.

Yeah…its remind me of my car…BLM…XD
yup, mit lancer
Nice looking car…..
stop the nonsense talk about audi copying mitsu guys, its shows the level of ur comment/thinking. seeing trough the looks only without true understanding of lines characteristic and design language of element and principal of design.
audi have far advance philosophy in art n design compared to mitsu or other japs cars.
anyway this is a great article paul
macam savvy lah…
Yup…mcm savvy ler plak. I hate to say tis…but its booring. Not like renault clio & megane which is more interesting
ok la, not bad looking. but i think what is special about taht grille maybe is LED lights behind. or something along that line.
i think its amazing
i think savvy is even more amazing
Haha, Audi Lancer
Ah beng japs wannabe like mazda 3 normally don't like conti design.. they prefer Japs.. so tehy like jpas ASEAN car like myvi, city, vios, AVANZA, INNOVA…prrrrtfhhhhh
look like same with ~~saga red ??
Whats the rave all about with mitsubishi's moustache design? i can't quite get it. It seems that most carmaker wants to integrate the horizontal black moustache to their cars, proton, nissan, audi, etc. Its just a drab.
ingatkan saga baru.. hihihi
Audi's car is always boring and ugly
