Quattro. A well-known if not the most famous title within the Audi world. Translated from Italian, it means '4'. This is a reference to the all-wheel drive included in the 'Quattro' models. The Audi Quattro has mostly made its name known within rallying. It was first introduced in 1980. It was the first car to combine four-wheel drive with a turbocharged engine. This combination revolutionised the rally world and made the Quattro an icon. In 1981, the Quattro won its first rally and dominated the sport in the following years. Audi continued to develop the Quattro and in 1984 the Sport Quattro was introduced. This car had a shorter wheelbase and was lighter than its predecessor. It was the most successful rally car ever and is still considered one of the most iconic cars ever made.
Our 1984 Audi Quattro is finished in a beautiful 'Alpine White'. This paint makes a nice combination together with the checkered brown fabric upholstery and the 15-inch white wheels. Both the paint and the upholstery are in very clean and original condition. It has a grey skai leather headlining.
In 1984, the Audi rolled out of the factory and into the hands of its first owner. After spending several years in Germany, it was first registered on Dutch plates in 1998 in Nieuwegein. It was then owned by the president/secretary of the Audi coupe/ Quattro Club. A very nice article was then written in the magazine: Autoweek 3-2005. After this, it came into the possession of its previous owner in 2008. This one cherished it for 15 years before it ended up in our hands.
The car has many interesting options such as; - Switchable ABS - Front and rear fog lights - Air conditioning - Electric windows & mirrors - Seat & rear window heating - LCD display (Digital instrument panel)
Under the bonnet is the well-known 5-cylinder turbo engine. This is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and together forms a power output of around 200hp. The engine runs well and shifts smoothly in its gears. Recently, the valve stem rubbers were replaced by a Quattro specialist. The unique combination of its turbo engine and four-wheel drive offer unprecedented grip and acceleration.
In terms of documentation, there are papers present such as; - Many (old) invoices - MOT inspections - Information sheets/manuals - Copy of the old German fahrzeugbrief
With the large number of invoices, it can be shown that the Audi has been well taken care of. This is also reflected in the car's current condition. Only ever been in the hands of real enthusiasts!
