Tokyo Auto Show: Audi A1 Concept

Also hitting the stage in Tokyo this week is the new Audi A1 concept. Dubbed the A1 Metroproject Quattro, this wild thing is a true plug-in hybrid with the electric motor capable of powering the car for up to 62 miles.

We turn it over to Jalopnik for the details…

Under the hood is a 150 bhp 1.4-liter TFSI engine with power directed to the front wheels through an S-tronic dual-clutch gearbox. But wait, here’s the cool part. There’s a 41 HP electric motor right atop the rear axle delivering an additional load of torque on those rear wheels when you put the foot down.
