Move Over Mini Cooper

When you think of a small car, something that is even described as tiny but considered highly gas efficient and an easy to navigate automobile driving around, what comes to your mind? An Audi? While I am sure you were thinking Mini Cooper, times could be changing as Audi built a new A1 Metroproject Quattro concept car to compete with the Mini Cooper. Some early pictures of the car have been released and the rumor mills is kicking in full gear as the car is to be displayed at a car show later this year.

Built as a hybrid, the Audi will be extremely gas efficient with its option of gas or diesel and is said to produce 150 horsepower. It will also keep with the sporty feel in the interior with a flat bottomed steering wheel, large clear display for your tachometer and speedometer as well as bucket seats arranged unlike any you have seen before.

The estimated price of the Audi once production ready would be around $20,000 which is extremely competitive for the quality of the car being built. This would make the possibilities of seeing the Audi in the next few years very high. If you were thinking about buying a mini cooper, you may want to think again and go to the next car show to get a glimpse of what might be coming down the road.
