An Audi Full of Suprises (Part II)

2012 Audi A1 Clubsport Quattro Concept (Need For Speed World)
I told you guys I'd test it! So earlier today, I went online to see why this car's become the main buzz of NFS World. Well, it seems that while Audi was making this crazy compact monster, Need For Speed managed to contact them and settle an agreement in having that car be an ultra exclusive item in the game. So far, it still is. No other game has pitched in to get it. Anyway, when it was finished and unveiled behind closed doors, NFS went over to Germany to do their 3D rendering, performance inputs, and detailing to bring this car into the virtual world, and voilà! The Audi A1 Clubsport came into existence and everyone is happy, both online and offline. As a general car, it actually is quite good. It handles well thanks to its Quattro all-wheel drive system. As a racer, it's quite phenomenal! The car handles corners with ease and turns on dime, instantly. It's quite uncanny when you think about it because, genuinely, a compact car with a big heavy engine in the front combined with front-wheel drive would be the recipe for one massive accident. So, luckily Audi fitted this car with all-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive in order to cooperate with a 2.5-liter 500 horsepower turbo-5 engine. So, in the end, I did some races, cruised for a while, and took some pictures with it. You, yourself can drive it now if you have a computer and the game installed. From now til June 4, you can drive it around NFS World, but for 3,500 Speedboost, you can drive it until the day you die, or your account gets hacked, whichever comes first. I'd go with the second one because, as you see here, you can customize it with performance parts and visual upgrades. Check out the video below to see how Audi and NFS got along. I'll have a video of my encounter with the car very soon.
