Phenomenally fast and sure-footed on the road, the Quattro excelled in international rallying. Initially developed to comply with Group 4 regulations and then those of Group B, the Quattro won the Manufacturers' Championship for Audi in 1982 and 1984 and the Drivers' Championship in '83 and '84 in the hands of stars such as Hannu Mikkola, Michele Mouton, Stig Blomqvist and Walter Rohrl, but its enduring legacy would be the demonstration of four-wheel drive's advantages for passenger cars. Since then Audi has gone on to apply its Quattro 4WD system to many other models but only the original (or 'ur') version is spelled with a capital 'Q'.
Finished in Diamond Silver metallic, this beautifully preserved Ur-Quattro was delivered new in Italy where it has spent most of its (easy) life belonging in more recent years to the brother of famous football legend Gianluca Vialli. The Audi moved to Belgium in 2018 and an engine overhaul was carried out in 2019; also, the underbody was treated and the entire exhaust pipe renewed. This car has covered a believed genuine mileage of only 87,300 kilometres, and unmolested examples like this are rarely found these days. Boasting lovely period cloth upholstery, still fitted with its original type radio, the interior takes you straight back to the 1980s.
This exceptional Ur-Quattro was invited to and shown at the Zoute Concours d'Élégance in 2021 for the Audi Quattro 40th Anniversary celebration.
A lovely example of a car that was to define the Audi marque and change the course of automotive engineering history, this wonderful Ur-Quattro is offered with Belgian registration documents and a nice history file.
