The Audi Quattro is a route and rally car, produced past the High german automobile manufacturer Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group. Information technology was first shown at the 1980 Geneva Motor Testify on 3 March.^[one] ^[3] Production continued through 1991.

Background [edit]

Audi Quattro in rally trim

The give-and-take quattro is derived from the Italian word for "four" to stand for the fact that the vehicle drives on all 4 wheels. The proper noun has also been used by Audi to refer to the quattro four-wheel-drive organization, or any four-wheel-drive version of an Audi model. The original Quattro model is too normally referred to as the Ur-Quattro - the "Ur-" (German for "primordial", "original", or "get-go of its kind") is an augmentative prefix. The idea of such a automobile came from the Audi engineer Jörg Bensinger.

The Audi Quattro was the start rally car to take advantage of the then-recently changed rules that allowed the use of 4-wheel drive in competition racing. It won consecutive competitions for the side by side two years.^[4] To commemorate the success of the original vehicle, all subsequent Audi product automobiles with this four-wheel-bulldoze system were badged with the trademark quattro with a lower case "q" letter of the alphabet.

The Audi Quattro shared many parts and platform with the Coupé version of the Audi eighty (B2).^[4] The quattro was internally designated Typ 85, a production lawmaking it shared with the quattro versions of the Audi Coupé. Its characteristic flared wheelarches were styled by Martin Smith. The Audi Quattro too had independent front end and rear break.^[5] ^[6]

Production history [edit]

The idea for a high-operation four-cycle-drive car was proposed in 1977 by Audi'south chassis engineer, Jörg Bensinger, afterward he plant that the Volkswagen Iltis military vehicle could outperform other vehicles when tested in the snow. An Audi 80 variant was developed in co-operation with Walter Treser, Managing director of Pre-Development.^[7] ^[8]

European marketplace [edit]

Audi introduced the original Quattro to European customers in late 1980,^[4] featuring Audi's quattro permanent four-wheel drive arrangement, and the first to mate the forepart-engine, 4-wheel-drive layout with a turbocharged engine.^[4]

The original engine was the 2,144 cc (2.1 50), longitudinally-mounted inline-5-cylinder 10 valve SOHC, with a turbocharger and intercooler. It generated 147 kW (200 PS; 197 hp) and torque of 285 Northward⋅m (210 lbf⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm, propelling the Quattro from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.1 seconds, and on to a superlative speed of over 220 km/h (137 mph).^[4]

The displacement of the engine was dropped slightly from 2144 cc to 2133 cc with a diameter x stroke of 79.three mm × 86.4 mm (3.1 in × 3.4 in) for the Rally auto and then that Audi could satisfy the 3-litre rallying class with a 1.four times multiplication factor. Valvetrain was DOHC iv valves per cylinder (20 valves in full) with an oil cooled KKK K27 turbocharger at 1.03 bars (14.ix psi) and Air-to-Air - Längerer & Reich intercooler fed by Bosch LH-Jetronic fuel injection, generating 225 kW (306 PS; 302 hp) at six,700 rpm and 350 N⋅m (258 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 3,700 rpm.^[9]

The engine was eventually modified to a 2,226 cc (136 cu in) inline-5 with ten valves, still generating 147 kW (200 PS; 197 hp), but with peak torque lower in the rev-range.^[4] In 1989, it was then changed to a 2,226 cc (136 cu in) inline-five twenty-valve DOHC setup generating 162 kW (220 PS; 217 hp), now with a superlative speed of 230 km/h (143 mph).^[iv]

Audi Quattro LCD instrument cluster

1990 Audi Quattro interior

The quattro was partially paw-built on a dedicated line.^[8] Production totaled xi,452 units from 1980 to 1991,^[4] ^[3] and through this 11 yr product there were no major changes in the visual design of the motorcar. For the 1983 model yr, the dashboard did abroad with an counterpart instrument cluster now fitted with a green digital liquid crystal display (LCD) electronic instrument cluster. This was subsequently changed in 1988 to an orange LCD electronic instrument cluster. The interior was redesigned in 1984, and featured a new dashboard layout, new steering bicycle design, and new eye panel design, the switches around the instrument panel were also redesigned. In 1985, the dashboard changed slightly with harder foam and it lost a diagonal stripe, the switches were varied slightly and the diff lock pull knob gave fashion to a ii-position turn knob with volt and oil temp digital readouts.

1987 MB-engined Audi quattro

Exterior styling received little modification during the Quattro's production run. Originally, the car had a apartment front grille featuring iv split headlamp lenses, one for each of the low and high beam units. This was contradistinct for the 1983 model year with combined units featuring a unmarried lens housing twin reflectors. This was changed again, for the 1985 model year, in what has get known equally the 'facelift model' and included such alterations as a new sloping front end grille, headlights, and trim and badging changes.^[2] The 20V RR Quattro as well featured a new 3-spoke steering wheel design, leather trim for door arm rests, gloveboxes, centre console and door pockets. There was also a total length leather-wrapped centre console running all the way to the rear seats and 'quattro' script on the interior with partial leather seats. The flooring on the driver's side had a bulge due to dual catalytic exhaust setup. The different models may be distinguished by the emblems on their boot lids: the WR had a vinyl 'quattro' decal or a brushed aluminium effect plastic keepsake, the MB had chrome plated 'Audi', 'Audi rings' and 'quattro' emblems, whilst the RR had only chrome plated 'Audi rings'.

The rear pause was altered early on with geometry changes and removal of the rear anti-ringlet bar to reduce a tendency for lift-off oversteer. For the 1984 facelift, the wheel size went from 6x15-inch with 205/lx-15 tyres to 8x15-inch wheels with 215/fifty-fifteen Pirelli Cinturato P5 tyres. At the aforementioned time the suspension was lowered by twenty mm with slightly stiffer springs for improved handling. For 1987, the Torsen centre differential was used for the beginning time, replacing the manual centre differential lock.^[4]

The terminal original Audi Quattro was produced on 17 May 1991, more than ii years subsequently the start models of the new Audi Coupé (8B) range (based on the 1986 Audi 80) had been introduced.^[10]

Due north American market [edit]

Sales of the Quattro in North America began in the 1983 model year.^[11] They entered the all-wheel-bulldoze market established past the AMC Hawkeye, the first full-time automatic all-wheel-drive line of passenger cars to reach mass product.^[12] ^[13] The pocket-sized Subaru Leone station wagon offered an optional part-fourth dimension iv-bike bulldoze system in the U.s. market starting in 1975.^[14]

The North American Quattro was manufactured concurrently and were of the same design as their European 1982 model year counterparts (they did not include the minor cosmetic changes of the 1983 European model) and connected through 1986. Total sales in the U.S. totalled 664 units. The Canadian marketplace cars were identical to the U.S. version with exception of the speedometer, which was metric. Official sales figures for Canada were 99 units, which included 61 sold in 1983, 17 sold in 1984, 18 sold in 1985, and 3 sold in 1986.

The U.South./Canadian cars were equipped with larger bear on bumpers with built-in shock absorbers, like the rest of the 4000/Coupé models. They did non accept anti-lock braking arrangement (ABS), simply included air conditioning and leather upholstery. Near of the 1984 and 1985 Canadian models came without sunroofs. The balance of the electrical, suspension, and cosmetic updates took place at the aforementioned fourth dimension equally the European cars.

The initial 2.1 L (2,144 cc, engine code "WX") engine for U.S./Canadian models included minor component and engine control unit of measurement (ECU) changes, lowered turbocharger heave pressure, unlike camshaft, also as emission controls that consisted of a catalytic converter and lambda stoichiometric fuel command that lowered power output to 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS). Other mechanical specifications were identical to the European market place vehicles. The WX engine was also utilized in Swiss and Japanese marketplace cars. Audi congenital 200 special edition cars in 1988 with the WX engine and analogue musical instrument cluster, with everything else identical to the MB model of that year.

Press reviews [edit]

In May 1981, Autocar mag road tested a left manus bulldoze Quattro (registration number WBD 335W), i of the first magazines to practise and so since it was introduced. First with a photograph in the magazine of a Quattro cornering hard on Pendine beach in South-west Wales, Autocar's Road Test Editor raved near the Quattro's "thrilling performance" being impressed with its traction and acceleration particularly on wet, greasy and slippery surfaces, noting that but the Porsche 911 could match its traction and acceleration in slippery weather. Later on extensive driving across the mount roads of Wales, the Road Examination editor mentioned that while the sixty/xl front/rear weight distribution can make the Quattro "tricky in extremis" under very hard cornering, the editor wrote that "When Driven with respect, once you lot have learned its ways, the Quattro is yet magnificent, particularly through a wet and deserted roundabout or series of open bends." The road test editor praised the interior'due south "comfortable refinement" and judged that its 1981 £14,500 price tag "is very good value for money considering its performance and the fact that its BMW, Porsche and Jaguar rivals price £5000 more." (In summertime 1981 both a Jaguar XJS V12 and BMW vi Series Coupe on sale in the U.k. cost almost £twenty,000). Adding the caveat that in 1981 (and until summer 1983) the Quattro was just bachelor in left hand drive in the UK, the Autocar Road Exam ended that the Quattro "is a vastly satisfying and enjoyable car to drive."

Audi quattro Spyder concept (1991) [edit]

The Audi quattro Spyder was a mid-engine coupé equipped with a two.eight-litre V6 engine taken from the Audi 100. The engine was rated at 174 PS (128 kW; 172 hp) and 181 lb⋅ft (245 N⋅m) of torque. The machine was a rolling test bed for a hereafter mid-engine sports car and featured a 5-speed manual gearbox, a modified version for the quattro 4-wheel-bulldoze arrangement, aluminium body panels with a tubular steel space frame, 1,100 kg (2,425 lb) kerb weight and a pause organization with trapezoidal links. All of the unique features depicted in the concept machine would notice their mode in future Audi production vehicles.

The machine was production-ready and garnered a lot of acclamation from both the motoring press and prospective buyers but due to the economic downturn of the 1990s, Audi decided not to printing alee with the project as the demand would not outweigh the development costs for the model.

The concept machine was unveiled at the 1991 Frankfurt Motor Prove.^[xv] ^[16]

Audi quattro concept (2010) [edit]

Audi quattro Concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show

At the Paris Motor Show in 2010, Audi presented the quattro concept on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the original Audi Quattro and the Audi quattro iv-wheel-drive organisation. Based on the RS5, it features a modified 2.5 L five-cylinder TFSI engine shared with the TT and a half-dozen-speed manual transmission from the S4. The engine was claimed to generate a maximum power output of 408 PS (300 kW; 402 hp) and 480 Due north⋅m (354 lb⋅ft) of torque. The revolutionary design features depicted on the concept car would eventually make their way on future Audi models.^[17]

The concept utilised aluminium and carbon fibre structure which helped to achieve a total dry weight of ane,300 kg (ii,866 lb). Weight saving was kept in consideration even throughout the interior and the seats also weighed 18 kg (xl lb) each besides having adjustment motors. The dashboard featured an LCD console displaying vital information well-nigh the car and buttons arranged in a vertical manner on the binnacle harked back to the original Audi Quattro. The wheelbase was shortened past 152 mm (6 in) and the roof line was shortened past 30 mm (1.2 in) as compared to the RS5.

The Quattro iv-wheel-drive organization used in the concept was a rear-biased blueprint utilising a 2-stage differential distributing power front and aft through planetary gears.

The concept utilised carbon-ceramic braking arrangement for improved stopping power. The automobile had a claimed 0–97 km/h (0–threescore mph) acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.

It was reported that Audi was considering a limited production model (200–500 cars) based on the quattro concept. Nevertheless, the idea of production was scrapped in favour of expanding the company'due south crossover range.^[18] ^[xix]

Audi Sport quattro concept (2013) [edit]

The original Audi Quattro contest automobile debuted in 1980, outset as a evolution car, and then on a formal ground in the 1980 Jänner Rallye in Austria. Largely based on the bodyshell of the road-going Quattro models (in contrast to the forthcoming Grouping B cars), the engine of the original competition version produced approximately 304 PS (224 kW; 300 hp). In 1981, Michèle Mouton became the beginning female person driver to win a world championship rally, piloting an Audi Quattro.^[4] Over the next three years, Audi would introduce the A1 and A2 evolutions of the Quattro in response to the new Group B rules, raising the power output of the turbocharged inline 5-cylinder engine to around 355 PS (261 kW; 350 hp).

The Quattro A1 debuted at the WRC 1983 flavor opener Monte Carlo Rally, and went on to win the Swedish Rally and the Rally Portugal in the hands of Hannu Mikkola. Driven by Stig Blomqvist, Mikkola and Walter Röhrl, the A2 development won a total of 8 world rallies, 3 in 1983 and five in 1984. Ii examples of the same machine completely dominated the South African National Rally Championships during 1984 to 1988, with S.A. champion drivers Sarel van der Merwe and Geoff Mortimer.

In 1988, the Audi Ur-Quattro driven by Audi Tradition driver Luciano Viaro won the 13th Silvretta Classic Montafon.^[25]

Sport Quattro [edit]

The Audi Sport Quattro S1 was a variant of the Quattro developed for homologation for Grouping B rallying in 1984, and sold as a production car in limited numbers.^[four] It featured an all aluminium 2,133 cc (2.1 L) Inline-five engine with a bore ten stroke of 79.3 mm × 86.iv mm (iii.1 in × 3.4 in) DOHC 4 valves per cylinder, Bosch LH Jetronic fuel injection and a KKK K27 turbocharger. The engine was slightly smaller than that of the standard Audi Quattro in terms of displacement in order to qualify for the three-litre engine form after the 1.4 multiplication cistron applied to turbocharged engines. In route-going class, the engine was capable of generating 306 PS (302 hp; 225 kW) at half dozen,700 rpm and 350 N⋅m (258 lb⋅ft) at iii,700 rpm,^[26] ^[27] with the engine on the competition cars initially generating around 331 kW (450 PS; 444 hp).^[4]

The car in competition course also featured a body shell equanimous of carbon-kevlar^[4] and wider bike arches, wider wheels (nine inches every bit compared to the Ur-Quattro's optional 8-inch-wide (200 mm) wheels), the steeper windscreen rake of the Audi 80 (requested by the Audi Sport rally team drivers to reduce internal reflections from the dashboard for improved visibility) and, most noticeably, a 320 mm (12.six in) shorter wheelbase.

In addition to Group B competition in rallying, the Sport Quattro won the 1985 Pikes Pinnacle International Hill Climb with Michèle Mouton in the driving seat, setting a record time in the procedure.^[28] 224 cars in total of this "brusk version" Sport Quattro were built, and were offered for sale for DM 203,850.^[4]

Sport Quattro S1 E2 [edit]

The Audi Sport Quattro S1 E2 was introduced at the cease of 1985 as an update to the Audi Sport Quattro S1. The car featured an inline v-cylinder engine that displaced ii,110 cc (128.eight cu in) from a diameter and stroke of 79.5 mm × 85.0 mm (iii.13 in × three.35 in) and generated an officially quoted ability output figure of 480 PS (353 kW; 473 hp).^[4] However, the turbocharger utilised a recirculating air system, with the aim of keeping the unit spinning at high rpm, when the driver closed the throttle, either to back off during cornering, or on gearshifts. This allowed the engine to resume full power immediately afterward the resumption of full throttle, reducing turbo lag. The actual power figure was in excess of 500 PS (368 kW; 493 hp) at 8,000 rpm.^[4]

In addition to the improved power output, an aggressive aerodynamic kit was added that featured very distinctive wings and spoilers at the front end and rear of the car to increment downforce. The weight was reduced to 1,090 kg (2,403 lb). The S1 could accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.ane seconds.^[iv] Some of the cars were supplied with a "power-shift gearbox", a forerunner of the DSG technology.^[iv]

The S1 E2 fabricated its debut at the 1985 Rally Argentine republic, with Blomqvist driving. This variant was successful in the rally circuit, with Röhrl^[4] and Christian Geistdörfer winning the 1985 San Remo Rally. A modified version of the E2, was also driven by Michèle Mouton.^[four] The S1 E2 would become the final Grouping B car produced by Audi, with the works team withdrawing from the Championship following the 1986 rally in Portugal.^[4] The last factory cars of 1986 were rated at 600 PS (441 kW; 592 hp).^[4] In 1987, the car won the Pikes Height International Hill Climb driven past Walter Röhrl.

In popular civilization [edit]

A cherry-red 1983 Quattro was driven past DCI Gene Hunt (played past Philip Glenister) in the idiot box drama Ashes to Ashes (aired on BBC1 from 2008 to 2010). Two cars were used through the run of the series: the original, and a stunt car that was acquired for serial 2. Both portrayed the same car.^[30] The original vehicle (also used in the Children in Need Peak Gear crossover mini-episode) lacked a sunroof which was present on the auto(s) used in series ii and iii, hence a fake ane was added for the sake of continuity. The stunt motorcar was written off for the bound in serial 3, episode 1 by the manager of that episode and used equally a parts and interior shots car until information technology was shot up in the finale, leaving the original motorcar intact^[31]

The type of the poster used past the Labour Party during the 2010 election campaign

In the run-upwards to the 2010 full general election, a entrada poster by the incumbent Labour Party authorities portrayed Conservative Party and opposition leader David Cameron as Factor Hunt sitting on the bonnet of the iconic crimson Audi Quattro and urged voters not to allow Cameron to take Britain "back to the 1980s" by electing his party into government amongst fears that it would lead to a repeat of the social unrest and unemployment that Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government of that era oversaw. The paradigm was then adopted past the Conservatives, with the slogan "Burn down up the Quattro, it's time for alter",^[32] with the annotate 'Thought kindly donated past the Labour Party'. "Burn down up the Quattro" was a call to action uttered by DCI Chase in Ashes to Ashes.
