Being called a wanker could be entirely justified for drivers of Audi’s all new A1 e-tron.

The all new A1 steps up the fuel efficiency game by combining a 254cc single rotor rotary engine (also known as a Wankel) positioned under the back seat in combination with a 74kW electric motor that uses a 12kWh lithium ion battery.

Audi claims the system brings the most out of the fuel efficient A1 due to a combined weight of engine and electric motor of just 70kg.

Whether the A1 e-tron actually makes it into production is a different story. We’ll keep you updated with the latest details.
