One of the most influential designs of recent decades, the Audi Quattro brought four-wheel drive into the motoring mainstream. Introduced in 1980, the Quattro was based on the outwardly similar Coupé's bodyshell, but used a different floor pan to accommodate its four-wheel-drive transmission and independent rear suspension. The engine was a development of the five-cylinder, 2.1-litre unit first seen in the 200 saloon, equipped with a KKK turbocharger and producing 197bhp in road trim, considerably more being available in competition tune. Engine capacity was later raised to 2.2 litres; maximum power stayed at 197bhp but with peak torque lower in the rev range. As a rally car the Quattro excelled, winning the Manufacturers' Championship for Audi in 1982 and 1984 and the Driver's Championship in 1983 and '84, but its enduring legacy would be the demonstration of four-wheel drive's advantages for passenger cars.
Retaining its original Ronal alloy wheels, this 2.2-litre Quattro was recently re-commissioned by Quattro Tech Cambridge following 11 years in storage. Systems overhauled included the fuel injection, with a new fuel pump and filter fitted, together with a new ignition system, a new starter motor, and a new battery. Accompanying receipts detail the many new parts fitted. Finished in white with grey cloth interior, the car is has 218,000 miles showing on the odometer and is described by the vendor as in generally very good condition. An all-time classic, the car is offered with a V5C document; MoT to October 2022; and the aforementioned receipts.
