2011 Audi A1
-
The 2010 Paris Auto Show is winding down, but there's still much to be seen, including Audi's punchiest version of the A1, the 1.4 TFSI.

Despite the lack of the sporty name, the little hatch can get to 62 mph in 6.9 seconds, hit a top speed of 141 mph and pull in 39.8 mpg US. Oh, and we won't be getting it. Hmmph.

The 2011 Audi A1 received what was possibly one of the most drawn-out unveilings in web history, and today it made its debut at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.

The A1 e-tron also uses a Wankel rotary to perform range-extending duties...
