Audi A1 Sportback with sport springs by H&R
Audi once again proves its lead in technology with the new edition of the A1. There is simply no premium in the compact format from the competitors! But the buyers have to do without. Powerful S version: no chance! All-wheel drive: no! Diesel engines: history! In order to not go for a full asceticism the H&R suspension engineers put on a new sport spring set. It lets the front-wheel drive car slide around the corner excellently. The meticulous tuning of the H&R springs to the standard suspension ensures a lowering of the vehicle's centre of gravity of 35 millimetres on the front axle and 30mm at the rear (A 1 Sportback 40 TFSI VA/HA 30mm). Reduced lateral tilt in fast bends and more agile steering are the noticeable consequences of the update. Furthermore the Sportback's visual appearance is also enhanced. Nevertheless, driving comfort remains at a level suitable for long-distance driving. H&R Trak+ wheel spacers, with which wheels can be aligned to the wheel arch edges with millimetre precision, guarantee even more liveliness. As usual at H&R, all products are 100% Made in Germany and are always delivered with the required type approvals.
