Audi Sport Quattro: Driving the Holy Grail

Fourtitude has a great article today about driving the legendary Audi Sport Quattro.

Amongst Audiphiles (those enthusiasts most rabid for the Audi brand), there is perhaps no more whispered-about production car, no holier than holy than the legendary Sport quattro. The vaunted Audi and king of the original coupes was built as a homologation special. Basically, Ingolstadt had to build at least 200 of these cars in order to campaign them in Group B rallying according to FIA rules of the day. Further, it was important that Audi make a strong bid to make their all-wheel drive racer more than competitive with the mid-engine cars of the day being campaigned by their competitors, much to the delight of an expected 200 owners who could pony up the cash for such a super rare car. Driving such an exclusive and legendary Audi is generally the stuff of fantasy, so when Audi Tradition placed this pristine red example in front of us at a recent winter test drive event in Italy, the eyes popped out of the head and the tongue hit the floor. Who were we to argue?

It's really a great car and they also have great pictures of a red Audi Sport Quattro on a test drive in snowy Italy. Can you imagine a better place for it? Truly an absolute legend ...
