The new generation of the Audi A1 is very close to arriving in Mexico, but while this happens there are specialized workshops that are already making modifications and increasing the power of this charismatic subcompact.

But ABT Sportsline is not just any workshop, and they were in charge of making a series of aesthetic and mechanical modifications to offer an aggressive and striking variant of the new A1.

Within the modifications we find a wider body that is inspired by the racing models that seems to be divided on the sides, the inclusion of a huge carbon rear wing that matches the chest made of the same material that sports discrete shots of air, the lip and frontal fascias are in the pure DTM style. The exhaust system is made of stainless steel with two 114 mm pipes and carbon moldings.

On the side of the footwear we have 19-inch ABT ER-F forged rims in matt black, mounted on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, with central locking optics and an exclusive gold "aerodynamic ring" mounted between the rim and the brake disc , very similar to what we currently see in Formula E.

The ABT team also installed H & R suspension springs, removed the rear seats to fit a roll bar and gave the interior a complete Alcantara lining, (and when I say complete it is literally) and seams in red, sporting sports seats with the inscription "one of one", which means one of one.

The body wrap is in charge of a red with black color with geometric details, which was designed by Erik Aleksanjan, a man who also designed the "Phoenix Project" end Audi Jon6ls Avant by Jon Olsson.

Proposed that the power of 236 horses that comes standard was not enough so an upgrade was made that gives it almost 400 horses, 394 HP to be exact, maintaining the 2.0-liter TFSI engine, but with a reconstruction that offers improvements in performance.
