Volkswagen/Audi tuning specialist MTM spotted this potential right from the beginning and revealed the Audi A1 Nardo Edition in honor of the annual Nardo Highspeed event.
Specifically tuned for achieving supercar top speeds the MTM Nardo Edition features a transversely mounted 2.5-liter 5-cylinder turbo engine from the TT-RS and RS3 and produces 500 PS (368 kW / 493 hp) with 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque.
It sends power to the front-wheels through a six-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential, which enables the A1 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph).
