It’s pretty certain now that we will never see an Audi RS1 in this generation but a German based tuning company has taken it upon themselves to boost the little S1 into RS-like territory. This is the B&B Automobiltechnik S1 and it’s been enhanced to match the likes of its bigger brother, the Audi RS3.
The S1 performance enhancement is available in five different stages of which the fifth one is only worth mentioning. While making use of the turbocharged 2,0-litre engine sourced from the Audi S3, this S1 is able to produce 279 kW and 540 N.m of torque to all four wheels made possible thanks to the addition of a larger turbocharger with an increased boost pressure of 0,25 bar, a high-performance intercooler, racing exhaust system with bespoke downpipes and catalyst and a special oil cooling system.
The end result of this is a 0-100 km/h time of 4,5 seconds and a top speed of 285 km/h. The total cost of his package is €11 000 (R184 202) but the parts can be purchased individually.
If you require more stopping and handling capabilities however, you will need to purchase the optional sports springs which lowers the ride by 35 mm and the 342 mm ventilated front brake disks mated to the B&B 18-inch wheels which will collectively cost €5 891 (R98 798).
