Audi Sport quattro S1: Driven by Allan McNish



Have a look how Allan McNish is driving with the Audi Sport quattro S1. Audi fans rejoice!
Between 1982 and 1986, the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, the governing body for many motor sports) sanctioned rallying’s Group B, a category that spawned the most powerful and dynamic rally cars ever seen in the World Rally Championship (WRC). This class allowed manufacturers to showcase their engineering prowess and it was enthusiastically embraced by Audi, Peugeot, Lancia and Ford, among others. One of the most extreme machines created for Group B was the Audi Sport quattro S1. With a shortened wheelbase and super-lightweight body made out of Kevlar panels, a monstrously powerful turbocharged five-cylinder engine and a four-wheel-drive powertrain, this car was a rally-winner straight out of the box.
