Two years ago, the Audi Metroproject Quattro<\/a> concept bowed at the Tokyo Motor Show<\/a>. A year later, the Audi A1 Sportback<\/a> study was unveiled in Paris<\/a>. And in less than two months, the production 2011 Audi A1<\/a> will finally be revealed online ahead of its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a>… but not before the hype machine is put into full effect.<\/p>\n

After the jump<\/a>, you can check out three teaser videos of the A1, beginning with a graffiti homage to Audi’s new compact hatch, followed by a brief statement from Chairman Rupert Stadler and a design discussion with a few of the A1’s creators. <\/p>\n

Predictably, all three spots are mum on details, but from previous reports, we know that the A1 is likely to be powered by a 1.4-liter TFSI four-cylinder channeling around 150 hp to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. All-wheel drive may be exclusive to the 180-hp S1 — due to arrive sometime in 2011 — with the standard model dolling out power to the front wheels alone<\/a>, and a cabrio variant arriving in 2012. Expect all the details to come down from on high in February — including an announcement about Audi’s intent to sell the A1 Stateside<\/a> — but until then… jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n
