Are these patents of the Audi RS1? They look like the A1 Quattro

 

Seems Mazda is not the only one with patent drawings beeing revealed this week. This time Audi got several images from a more sporty looking A1, possibly the A1 Qauttro or the RS1, leaked to the internet from the European trademark office database.

On the outside the car looks almost equal to the A1 Qauttro concept revealed some time ago, with the exception of the five-spoke rims used in other RS models.

The A1 Quattro had a turbocharged 2.0liter four-cylinder engine producing 256hp (188kW or 252bhp) and 350Nm (258lb/ft). Another alternative could be the 2.5liter five-cylinder engine used in the TT-RS, with less power.
