The Audi Quattro, introduced in 1980, brought four-wheel drive into the motoring mainstream. It was based on the outwardly similar Coupe's bodyshell but had a different floorplan to accommodate its four-wheel drive transmission and independent rear suspension. The engine was a development of the five-cylinder, 2.1-liter, single-overhead camshaft unit first seen in the 200 saloon. With the help of a KKK turbocharger, horsepower was rated at 200 BHP in road trim and considerably more in competition tune.
The Audi Quattro excelled in international rallying, winning the Manufacturers' Championship for Audi in 1982 and 1984 and the Driver's Championship in 1983 and 1984.
The 4WD quattro system had proven itself in competition and would prove advantageous for the road-going cars as well. Since then, Audi has applied the quattro 4WD system to many other models. Only the original (or 'UR') version is spelled with a capital 'Q.'
This Ur-Quattro has recently been treated to substantial restoration work including a re-spray in the original colour of dark green metallic in 2010. The interior features the correct multi-tone brown velour upholstery.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at Bonhams Auction in Monaco. It had an estimated value of $21,000 - $27,000. Bidding failed to satisfy the vehicle's reserve and it would leave the auction unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Jan 2013
