Spotted testing on the Nürburgring for the first time, we now see in very little camouflage with an aggressive front and huge rear wing the RS1.

Although this new RS1 will be sharing the chasis with the quattro all-wheel drive Volkswagen Polo R, the power plant still remains a mystery. It is rumored that the A1 Clubsport quattro Concept that was shown at Wörthersee this year was a precursor to the RS1 with a highly-modified 2.5 liter, five-cylinder TFSI producing 503 PS (370 kW / 496 bhp) and 660 Nm (486.79 lb-ft) of torque.

The RS1 will launch next year in 2012
