Model History:
Here comes the much celebrated "Vorsprung durch Technik" (advance through technology). The Audi quattro with permanent all-wheel drive and five-cylinder turbo engine was legendary from day one. It was built over a whole decade, 11, 548 units in total - that's significantly more than the originally planned 400 for racing homologation purposes! Speaking of racing: Unforgettable, how Walter Röhrl and his teammates kept winning rally after rally, leaving the competition for dead.
It was the discovery that a 4-wheel-drive VW Iltis had far better traction on a slippery slope than even the most powerful standard car, which led to the development of the quattro - which was given its name by one of the chief engineers, Walter Treser, at that time Director of Pre-Development.
The quattro sparked a veritable all-wheel-boom. Nobody cared that the front half was almost identical to the rather homely Audi 80... With this car, Audi had finally got a foothold in the premium segment. And today? Well-maintained specimens are rare, because as is so often the case with performance cars, they were tuned and tinkered with till the cows came home.
A great vehicle, all the fun on the road plus a huge potential regarding the price development.
