Posted on October 29, 2008 at 6:34 am (PST)

Audi has announced another green vehicle based on it’s A1 hybrid concept. The five-door A1 Sportback will go from 0-62 MPH in 7.9 seconds, reach a top speed of 124 MPH and manage up to 72.4 miles from a gallon of fuel. The vehicle will also take you more than 60 miles on just one charge. There’s also an adjustable drivetrain / drive shaft / shock absorber system, which allows drivers to choose between two modes: sport mode (for better acceleration) and efficiency mode. The latter takes your route and altitude into consideration when managing the on-board navigation system.

The A1 also allows certain cellphones to act as a mobile control unit for WLAN access and a series of other functions. Click the link for more photos and information.
