I wouldn't worry about that ^^^
When I was on the Audi forum someone had emailed Audi asking about the S1 and when it would be out. Audi replied with a similar response to the one above yet 3 days later it was announced it was going into production.
There is no way they are going to tell the mere mortals until they officially release it.

That's not a bad thing.  It truly is a gentlemans racer :)

not really, it will handle the torque output of the R400 engine and also reduce fuel consumption at high gear :)

How so? As far as I can tell it is in response to new EU rules tightening emissions.  It can also handle a lot more power than the current 6 speed DSG, which isn't new technology anymore. 

Finally, it will be able to suit the power of these hyper hatches better than the current 6 speed.  Remember that the R is all but double the power of a GTI...

It's amazing what you find when you do a bit of snooping on the internet  :grin:. Looks like someone has found a dealership that has actually taken their order for a 400. It's obviously still a big assumption that the car will indeed be built
