He added: "Evidence of the premium character of the A1 is found in every last detail in the interior – in the selection of the materials, in their processing and in the tight, even gaps.

"The surface of the instrument panel is softly backed with foam; all buttons and controls move precisely; even the pull handle that unlatches the hood release does so crisply and precisely."

Pictures of the car with its ambassador Justin Timberlake leaked onto the internet before christmas. See them by following the link below.
