Thank World Rallycross For Bringing us This 600 Horsepower Audi S1

Zero to sixty in a beast like this only takes 1.9 seconds. This is a hyper-hatch, not a hot hatch.

If only there were a way to convince Audi that this needs to be a production car. This is the FIA World Rallycross (not to be confused with Global Rallycross) Audi S1 which is being made for Mattais Ekstrom's new racing team, EKS. 

The EKS Audi S1 Supercar's 2.0L turbo I4 is pushing out 600 horsepower which is enough to launch the car to 60 mph from a dead stop in only 1.9 seconds. That's not a typo; that stat actually starts with a one. It's going to debut at the World RX of Great Britain in May.

Dat spoiler, too.
