Introduction

The Quattro 4WD system set the standard for generations to come.
At the Geneva International Motor Show in 1980, Audi released the Quattro, with its distinctive box arches and revolutionary state-of-the-art four-wheel drive system. However, the Quattro's origins date back to 1977 in the snowy expanses of Sweden, where a team of Audi engineers were testing their military all-terrain vehicles, outperforming more powerful models. This led to the development of an Audi 80 with the drivetrain from the military all-terrain vehicles, giving birth to the Quattro concept for road-going vehicles. This innovative design endowed the Audi Quattro with exceptional handling characteristics straight from the Audi factory. Combined with a 2.1-litre turbocharged engine, it offered a highly exclusive package. Originally intended for low-volume production, it garnered a much stronger demand upon its release. With immense success in the world of motorsport, particularly in rallying, the Quattro rightfully earned its place as one of the most iconic cars of the 1980s.
This UR Quattro comes to market with ~48,649 miles on the clock, along with extensive restorative work carried out on the car since 2017. Approximately £9,000 has been invested over the past six years, and comes to market from ~2 and a half years ownership.
