Story and technical background of the Audi Sport quattro S1 E2
The model car is based on the legendary Audi Sport quattro S1 E2, one of the most famous rally cars of the 1980s. The Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 was introduced in 1985 as an evolution of its predecessor, the Audi Sport quattro. The vehicle was part of the well-known Group B rally class, known for its powerful and technically advanced cars. The generation of the Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 was produced from 1985 to 1986.
The Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 was developed by the Audi factory team under the leadership of chief engineer Roland Gumpert and design chief Walter Treser. The vehicle was equipped with a five-cylinder turbo engine capable of producing up to 600 horsepower. The engine was combined with all-wheel drive, giving the car excellent traction and stability even in challenging terrain.

The vehicle demonstrated exceptional performance in rough terrain and under extreme conditions, earning it a legendary status in motorsport.
