For less than 13 thousand euros you can make your Audi S1 Quattro more powerful than a Ford Focus RS or an Audi RS3.
From the factory, the Audi S1 Quattro 2.0 TFSI has 231 horsepower and a maximum torque of 370Nm. The sprint from 0-100 km/h takes 5.8 seconds (or 5.9s in the Audi S1 Sportback version, which we already had the opportunity to test) and the top speed reaches 250km/h. As always, for any self-respecting preparer – and for many of their clients – these values are not enough. Thus, for another €12,950, the German preparer B&B Automobiltechnik increases the power of this pocket rocket up to 375hp and 540Nm of maximum torque.Changing this for kids, if you want, you can have an Audi S1 Quattro with more power than an Audi RS3 (367hp) or Ford Focus RS (350hp). More powerful than this pocket rocket, only the Mercedes-AMG A45 4Matic, a model that holds the most powerful four-cylinder engine on the market (see here). As well as being more powerful than the models described, the Audi S1 Quattro is lighter. Thanks to its lighter weight and quattro system, it can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. Maximum speed? 285km/h.

These enviable values were only possible thanks to the replacement of several S1 components, such as the introduction of a larger turbo, XXL intercooler, handcrafted exhaust line, revised intake, more efficient lubrication system and of course the typical ECU reprogramming.
