Details: Developed using four-wheel drive technology, the Audi quattro stands out as one of the most revolutionary sports cars ever built. From its debut in the 1980s, the quattro was set to steal the show & it went on to do just that both on & off road. Today, it is a much loved classic with fans & quattro enthusiasts the world over. Originally, Audi had intended to produce just 400 quattros to be used in rally driving, but in the end, nearly 11, 500 vehicles were built for a hungry export market. The car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980 & as the first four-wheel drive grand tourer since 1966 it caused a sensation. The car became one of the most significant rally cars of all time when it was one of the first to take advantage of the changed rules in competition racing allowing a four-wheel drive to participate. Critics were sceptical that a four-wheel drive could achieve as near as much momentum, power & versatility. They were to be proved wrong. Ideal for: Audi quattro fans of all ages
