Lot 206: Audi Quattro Turbo Coupe
British Heritage + Classic Cars, Barons (11th September 2007)
The first seeds of the Audi Quattro were sewn in the mid-1970s, when Volkswagen designed an off-road 4x4 called the Iltis, mainly by plundering the existing Volkswagen/Audi parts bin. The Iltis experience led Audi engineers (notably Ferdinand Piëch) to investigate the benefits of four-wheel drive in a high-performance road car, starting with an early Audi 80.Once Audi management had been convinced of the superiority of the four-wheel drive car, in adverse conditions, by back-to-back tests with standard front-drive cars, Ferdinand Piëch was given the green light to develop a high-performance, four-wheel drive machine for road and rallying. The rest is history.Offered here is an uprated Quattro Turbo Coupe, which has benefited from a restoration and rebuild taking 3 years. During the restoration, the car was fitted with a later 20 valve engine from the later RR Quattro, with the Twin-Cam head which gives 220bhp as standard. The car was also colour changed to chrome yellow with contrasting under-bonnet (for identification purposes) and has covered a mere 7000 miles since the work was completed.Described as being in excellent condition, this very quick, individualistic example of a Quattro Turbo Coupe offers excellent value for money
