They don't sell the A1 in the US, and that version is actually the S1 and cost £27k for the base version when launched here in the UK. It's a bit of a one-off they sold hardly any of them.
Again, there are fast A3s but the vast majority sold aren't that quick.
Also it’s a bit weird to compare super entry level 1l audis to this. They’re in a weird segment with lots of compromises.
