The Audi quattro is a design landmark. When the car first appeared in 1980 it caused a sensation. Audi's obsession with technical innovation resulted in a turbocharged four-wheel-drive machine that revolutionised rallying and took road car handling and grip to a new level. The quattro won on its rally debut, and went on to win four world titles. The quattro's rallying career ended in 1986 with the banning of Group B, although road car production continued, and more than 11,000 cars were built in total. This beautifully designed book tells the full road car and competition story.
Jeremy Walton has written many books and contributed to a wide range of magazines in his distinguished journalistic career. He has been a quattro enthusiast since the car's launch, and wrote extensively about the car when it was current. He lives near Warminster in Wiltshire.
Stunning studio photography and archive images. How the components used in previous Audis made the quattro possible, and how the car was designed around the revolutionary transmission.
