According to Revo, it is. Their stage one software brings this to 300-315BHP, with 318-333lbft, impressive! The MK5 with that EA888 block with a software upgrade was excellent, so this plus Quattro would be insane!
3:11 The most epic rev in the national rev history of revving.
+JohanDeLijser i know right that revving gave me an orgasm!
Good review, but would have liked to see more footage of the interior and exterior. I have the 2 door S Line version and love it!
Great video, love the s1. I would love if you tested the rs5. A big shout, but one of my favourite cars, and i hope Watford Audi can supply you with one.
This Haldex system is different. It's front-wheel drive, but it sends up to 50% of the power to the rear if it needs it to
I got one of these on order, so happy you done this vid the wait is killing me!
congrats
I'm in love with your R8
I got it for the low low
***** Whip it through the glass...
Armystrix I have armystrix !!! :)
11:16 your R8 in the background....daymnnn!!!
I'd have one in matte Dark Red, black trim and black wheels. That would look awesome.
I really like the S1 it looks a right laugh (bright red for me I think , and good job with the video .
Glad you have done this video as I was so close to ordering one until the dealer wouldn't budge from the £29k price and can't justify spending that on an A1!! But this has made me want one again:(
i have just bought an s1 im collecting it on the 15th of september, im sooooo excited!!! this video was defiantly the one that made me go though with the decision !
and its now sold hahhahaha
Why did you sell it? and what did you replace it with?
I sold it because it wasn't fun enough for me. It was a very refined car and the gear box was shit had the worst feel to it ever, yes it was fast but thats all it had going for it tbh. felt very unstable at speed, the steering was so light and you could never feel the car. I now have a fiesta st MK7, such a better drivers car, the only thing that is missed is the 4WD but wheel spinning under acceleration just adds to the drama and makes it fun to drive
james Robinson my s1 handles like rails
Following your description... It's pretty much a classier VW Golf GTI or R, depending on the performances... Looks real good though!
I wish garages would give me cars to try for a few hours how do you get them to let you use them... Is it just because of your CZcams page or do you know them?
Age and time you have held your licence are big factors along with price and spec hope this helps :D
Love these hot hatches, have a 595 abarth with 220bph and 270 torque, they're fun cars to drive!
Awesome, another great SOL video! :)
Another great video from Audi.
The S1 is such an awesome little pocket rocket, for £25k I think it's pretty good value, and looks amazing in Sepang Blue. Can't really be compared with the A45 AMG since that's got like 130-140 more bhp and costs almost double the price, they're both epic though.
jordanclarkson2010
there is not a big difference between the s1 and a45,
they have the same max speed (260) and a small diferrence in the acceleration,
the S1 is more powereful from 70 to 150km/h then any other card.
s1 owner opinion.
A1 is much smaller than the a class you have To Compare the rs3 with the a45
I have an Audi a1 sport and it has front fog lights with the s1 doesn’t 🤨
You need to do more of these! They are awesome however I think you need to do a little reading beforehand so you know the facts and figures.
I'm still contemplating one of these however I'm pritty much ticking want on every option going which is racking up the price :(
I have a yellow 3 door and it's remapped up to 310 bhp and 440 nm torque. It's seriously quick. I had a drag race with an rs5 before its was mapped and he could not get away. I think now I would have him lol
Haha, such an amazing little car.
4:05! Awesome
Has this basically got the same engine as the ED30 MK5 GTI with the K04 turbo? If so, it has phenomenal tuning potential.
Nope has the EA888 engine found in the mk7 gti,r, s3, tt.
It doesn't, well it's deprived from it but the engines from the PP GTI
3 days till I get mine,exactly same as this one
Would love to see this in the states, from what I read on it I see no chance in hell it will make it here any time soon.
nice review paul following you since 20.000 subs...and still enjoying content ...keep up the good work
That car looks 😍😍
I'm chipping mine next week, 300 bhp and 450NM in an S1 👍
Definitely a real pocket rocket, but as you say Paul, tiny. Not sure why they put 4 doors on it, I suspect it would be real hard to get 2 adults in the back, but I guess 2 kids would be fine. They are fifty grand in Oz, and only come with a dual clutch auto.
A standard s1 would be pretty fun but with a stage 1 revo you can get just over 300 and a boot full more torque and then it must be pretty mental and a stage 4 or 5 i believe can take to just short of 500hp, with a different turbo and injectors etc but that would be crazy
revo only do stage 1 for s1

oh bolloks
Try out the alfa romeo mito SBK. It is insane!!!!
Not a big fan of the 4 exhaust pipes to be honest. Something like the exhaust pipes on Fiesta ST would fit a small car like this a lot better in my opinion.
Try the A8 at Watford Audi Paul. My R8 was at Watford Audi for a service and they gave me an A8 - great car! Keep up the good videos Paul
How can you compare this to your r8 ????? completely different Cars
The audi probably has 70 - 30 % power to front and back. Sometimes it does 50 - 50 but only in tight situations
*You should try the **_Audi S8_**!*
I would have a samoa orange with black contrast roof and grill with 28inch 5 arm rotors
You should try the Mk7 Golf R.
nah chavs car
More POV would be nice :)
I reckon you should review the Ford Fiesta ST :D
id get it in the exclusive lime green they do
You mean the Java Green? Love that colour!
can u show us the speedometer at times when ur driving so we can see how fast ur actually driving and how fast it actually accelerates plz
Will get in trouble speeding points
Where is the use ability video?
Are your @Ltzonda the twitch streamer brother or something ?
Can you get an S Tronic Duel Clutch in the S1? Great video btw!
no
Sheyon Puvanesh S1 is only manual...
Yes you can!
Yes you can
No you can't it only comes in a 6 speed manual REAL DRIVING!!!!
I would have mine matte red with black grill
It seems like a very nice pocket rocket, I prefer the a45 amg, well it's my own opinion, everyone has different opinions.
Yeah that's true, you could be looking closer to a c63 to be honest then.
The a45 amg isn't the rival oft the Audi s1, it's the rival oft the Audi rs3 :)
Audi RS6 next Paul ! :D
Hiya
If you guys (minority) don't enjoy these videos then leave and don't come back, I'm sure us (majority) throughly enjoy them and understand this is Paul's channel and we're happy with what he posts... So yh bye 👋
VW golf gti vs S1?
Black s1 with spoiler
I thought from reading the title of the video that Audi had let him drive the Quattro S1 from the group B rallying days, that would of been good, but nevertheless it was still a good watch. Hey Paul blag Audi to let you have a go in he iconic sport Quattro from the 80's.
Oh and thats the car that got Audi recognised in the beginning!
Did he buy that car personally or is it just for review
For review
thanks
I'd paint it black, no S badges. And leave everyone behind at the traffic light! So funny when people think your car is slow.
Its from 2015 ! From 2014 only 300 where build
Fine Little machine
I drive an Audi A1 1.2l as a daily and I have had the luck to drive the Audi S1 for 3 hours in a row. Which I have to say: The S1 is a fun little bomb to drive! But the performance isn't that spectacular. 230 bhp is a lot for its size still the new TT, with the same engine specs, is a lot more fun to drive.
If I had the money for a S1, I'd rather buy a second handed TT RS. Less headroom in the back, but some lunatic performance in return.
more POV paul, you get a much better understanding of whats going on
Audi s1 3 door in black
WIT kind of car guy is he If he prefers auto byer
He isn't a knowledgeable car guy. Just likes the look and sound of cars with minimal technical knowledge as he said
One of my videos just hit a thousand views thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Iv just put a deposit on the bang same car 15 plate and I can't wait
A200. I WIN 😂
A ford fiesta ST with a mountune tune on it is a lot better, and like half the price
Paul I'm a big fan .. But to be honest with you mate .. Your channel is called "supercarsoflondon" .. You rarely show any supercars about London
love it my minis about 280 hp its smaller than that makes me laugh because you think something that small could be so good,, cheap to run is a bonus ..
Review the audi rs6
i wish the USA would get this and the rs3 :(
you can import it
no we recently got the a/s3 but thats about it, not sure we are getting the a1 or rs6 or the rs3 *****
right! US never got them :/ we have the rs5, and rs7 and the rs4 came out awhile ago ***** and the a3 is a new to us lol we got it this year
I'd buy the new Honda Civic Type R, job done.
It amazes me that this guy has so many subscribers and people jumping to his defense in the comments below...
I really struggled to watch this video without shaking my head and rolling my eyes, he's clueless about cars!
"I think these are 18 Inch wheels, not sure" Why not just read the tyre sidewall? Pretty obvious?
Then he gets in and straight away starts making comparisons about the gear stick in an Audi S1 compared to his R8...did he really expect them to be the same? Or even comparable???
He seems much more interested in MOAR EXHAUST TIPS and NEEDZ WRAP AND MOAR MATTE FINISH like a 12 year old school boy than the actual engineering that's gone into this car. Although frankly I'm glad he's not talking about the engineering that's gone into it because he clearly does not have a clue.
2/10 would not watch again.
Couldn't agree with you more.
For that price I could buy a Ford Focus RS 2010 model with 10k in change!
Audi basically means car at this point
I would have it in white if you are offering
Black, tinted windows because most of my cars have been black lol. S1 is definitely better being a 5 door just like new s3!
Wasnt your R8 wrapped in iron man colours?
Comparing Audi R8 and Audi S1, seriously... :) Nice car though, two doors version and red color and It's even more epic (That's subjective opinion)
Audis are best
matt black with red trim
I really like the idea of this car - small, powerful, desireable. But even if I could buy one I don't think I would. End of the day, it's a fast Audi. And nothing says "I'm a twat' quite like that.
So because of what others think, you wouldn't buy a great car?
Well, if you read more carefully, it's obviously what I think and not what other people think. But yes, I would totally buy this car - it looks brilliant. My other comment was meant more as a flippant remark than anything else. Thank you for your concern though.
I wish you did a better one for the S3, the one car I'm likely to own and you had hardly any detail :'( No videos of real life impressions of them.
BME x5 M power had no chance! Looooooooooool your on a different planet mate
R8 this R8 that.... you make me laugh u should review more BMW's starting with the M5
Im genuinely interested, he had a vauxhall astra, now an R8. Thats some increase in salary, hows he do it? This isn't jealousy, I really want to know what he does for a living to jump from an astra to an R8 as the payments a month must be high.
Simon George he worked at a garage while doing CZcams :)
***** not just that, he worked too
Would you buy it?
Yeahh
It's as powerful as a Golf GTI but costs as much as a Golf R which has 300hp.
So I'd go for the Golf R instead. ;-)
nah S1 then a revo upgrade, the R is Chav
DimensiiioN standard S1 is 26k, standard golf R is 32k so you’re wrong,
No way should that car come with DCT. Leave it as manual! We've had enough of manufacturers killing off manual.
a plumcake with narrow wheels
narrow axle
pick up t- minus 11 hours.
I'm done with this channel. Every damn video is about an Audi... You rarely show any other supercars in London!
you mean he should rename his channel to Audis of London? lol
why don't you just cheer up
Maximilian Lehner Yes lol. But, this channel isn't for me anymore. He's always talking about his next supercar when he already just got one.
Literally his previous video is about supercars...the one before that he had a go in a lamborghini...obviously he's going to jump at the opportunity if Whatford audi gives him the chance to drive any of Audis new releases...
He is filming cars he is offered. You want to see other cars then offer him one then. He can't access lamborghini's and ferrari's every week
He always overreacts on the acceleration. My God it's a little hatchback not an Aventador!!! Wtf?
99% of cars on the road seem to be estate cars were u live
Does this guy know anything about cars.. Sat there comparing a audi a1 to his old Astra 1.8? And he's surprised how much better it is? What the fuck did he expect?
Another Fucking Audi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!
The a class amg has much better sound and looks better....
And is nearly 2 times as expensive ;)
BeCar44 If you are ready to spend that much money on a s1, then you can spend that much money on a amg
Chris S And the new A45 will smoke the RS3!
Umar Khan it won't, the rs3 is even more powerful and faster
TheDiabolocraft The new A45.

I seriously hate that blue colour! It's got no emotion/personality to it!
Audi is losing, the only thing that keeps them a float is the R8
