The Fascination of the Audi Sport quattro
The Audi Sport quattro, built from 1983 to 1986, was a milestone in the history of car manufacturing and motorsports. As the younger generation of the original Ur-quattro, this high-performance sports car was designed to dominate the rally world. The Audi Sport quattro was heavily based on its predecessor, the Audi Quattro, but with significant modifications. One of the outstanding engineers behind this model was Walter Treser, who played a key role in the development of the vehicle. The Audi Sport quattro was equipped with a 2.1-liter turbo engine producing 306 horsepower and 350 Nm (258 pound-feet) of torque. With this power, the car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Technical Details and Remarkable Facts
The Audi Sport quattro featured a striking design with a shorter body compared to its predecessor, earning it the nickname "short Quattro." This design change improved handling and stability, particularly advantageous in rally racing. A notable feature of this model was the wide fenders and large rear spoiler, providing additional downforce. The body was a mix of carbon and Kevlar, making the vehicle not only lighter but also more robust. Inside, the Audi Sport quattro was equipped with high-tech features like a digital dashboard, revolutionary for that time.

Important political events like the beginning of the rejection of nuclear rearmament through the NATO Double-Track Decision and musical milestones like the release of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" shaped that era. The Audi Sport quattro itself gained fame through its participation in the World Rally Championship, where it clinched several victories. Designed by Ferdinand Piëch and technically executed by the team led by Roland Gumpert, the Audi Sport quattro became an icon in motorsports.
