The Audi A1 supermini will go on sale in March 2010, a secret company document has revealed.
The engineering papers, which were sensationally leaked out of Ingolstadt, detail the Audi A1’s new line-up of four-cylinder launch engines.
The petrol model range begins with an 86bhp, 1.2-litre petrol engine. Further up there’ll be a naturally aspirated 1.4-litre petrol with 122bhp and a high-performance, turbocharged version of the same unit that will yield 170bhp.
New diesel engines include a 1.6-litre common rail injection with 90bhp or a range-topping 2.0-litre common rail unit.
Audi is making no comment about the leaked document, but sources say an internal investigation has been launched.

When compared to the 370Z sculpture shown at therecent N360 event in Portugal we can start to see somesimilarities between the two cars, namely the wheelarches and the roof line. The new 370Z will be fourinches shorter than the current 350Z, combined with anew roof line (seemingly a throw back to the Fairladyof old) and the usage of the new type headlamps whichfirst debuted on the new Nissan Maxima. The newoverseas Fairlady Z will pack around 330 hp from thenew 3.7 liter VQ engine and is scheduled to make itsworld debut at this years LA Auto Show.
