The new 2011 Audi A1 will be revealed at this year’s Geneva Auto Show, but we are already bored with it as Audi keep teasing us with uninteresting facts about the car! So after the lights, body and quality, now this Sarah Chalke lookalike who is Audi’s color and trim designer explains the A1’s new interior color which is Wasabi Green!

“Having a wide range of possibilities for individual designs was the most important thing for us, and our objective was to combine the various materials with fresh colors. That’s how we came up with Wasabi Green – after drawing inspiration from trends in architecture, fashion, and the furniture industry.”

Wasabi is a Japanese type of horseradish. It’s a hot spice with a distinctive, green color. “We use wasabi paste for meals to improve the flavor – but only in small amounts,” Bonkova said. “It’s the same with the A1. Wasabi Green is used selectively to create accents, such as in details like seams. We want to use this color to appeal to people who simply want something new and fresh.”
