This is where it all started for many enthusiasts. The Audi Ur-Quattro was the company’s first attempt at all-wheel-drive in 1980. Racing versions promptly dusted the competition, winning team titles in the famed Group B series in ‘82 and ‘84. The Quattro forced everyone to step up their game, directly leading to the birth of the Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16. BMW recruited the Quattro’s chassis engineer and made him development lead on the E30 M3. Thanks to nutschell for sharing this pristine example. Spotted at periodcorrect.
