Driving the original Audi Quattro - The car that changed the world !

- Not many car are considered to have broken the mould, or to have been ground breaking. Well in 1980 Audi launched the Quattro Coupe and that was certainly both. Not only was it powerful and fast...it was the first production car with permanent four wheel drive. When Audi decided to take it rallying to changed motorsport for ever !
Thanks to Audi UK, I have had the privilege of spend a few days with this stunning example from their heritage collection. One of the first Quattros to be delivered in the UK.

Hi. An absolute classic this car. I grew up in the era of watching Group B Quattros tearing up rally stages. Seeing and hearing them howling and chuffing their way through forests at night, lights playing through the trees and dust... good times with my dearly departed dad.
👌👏👏
I owned a B2 Coupe Quattro, by far and away the best car I ever owned. Thanks for a great trip down memory lane.
Glad you enjoyed it
I never read the comments to videos on YT normally but got hooked reading these and enjoying all the memories the quattro brought back for people whether they've owned one or not. I too was first bitten by the quattro bug watching the rallying and at the time I could barely afford to run my 10yr old Cortina. Never thought I would own one but the desire festered. Then 20 yrs ago I went 'all in' to buy a mess of a quattro that I couldn't afford. I restored it over 2 years to enjoy it and still get that same enjoyment every time I fire it up. That 'buzz' never fades. No other classic performance car comes close for me. Great video review. Loved it. 👍
This is very cool 👍
I actually saw them Rallying in the 1980's, I may have seem them on their RAC Rally debut in 81. The most memorable moment was when the RAC Rally visited my home town Wigan. A short wheelbase Group B on a night stage, me in a bush 1m from the cars spitting flames from the exhaust. Totally impossible to forget!
Wow 👌
I would love to of seen that in real life, the sound must of been awesome. I remember seeing Colin Mcrae quite a few years back driving his Focus through a town when we were following the Rally round Wales, In real life the sound is so much different.
Speaking of old your timing reminds me of...It’s Friday, it’s 5 to 5 and it’s CRACKERJACK, if you’re a certain age.
No, no, I don't remember that, with Leslie Crowther at the helm, no, not at all!
RUNAROUND!

My father had a rare blue 1980 Audi 4000/80 ( regular sedan) with that 5 cylinder engine option back in 1983.Not many of those existed at the time. I haven't seen one since then. Lovely to see this.Cheers!👍
Hello 'Mr Petrol Ped', back in 1983 I lived just off J3 of the M5, working away from home I returned on Saturday 19th to find a local company's car park was being used as a RAC Rally Service Area, loads of people/cars/police etc but as I was about to pass the exit a Audi Quattro pulled out driven by Stig Blomquist, I drove alongside the car for some miles on its way to the stage at Sutton Park, really great memories. I later had to explain to my wife why I was late home, she didnt 'get it'. Brilliant car. Regards, RichardA.
Brilliant story 👍
You get it. Driving an Audi from this era is a sensual experience. And we are sensual beings. Unlike cars these days in this stimulation is engineered out of the car. If i was stuck driving one practical classic car forever it would be an 80's Audi. Even the 4 cylinder 4000. At 90 mph on the highway it would really begin to hunker down. The little 4 with the 5 speed would just start to roll up up up and if you didnt watch it you'd be at 5k on the tach just cruising way too fast. A lot of younger drrivers just don't understand why we get so attched until they actually spend some time in these older cars. What great memories.
I remember that advert... 😅 Oh blooming ‘eck, I feel old ☺️
I can vividly remember this car in the early 1980’s. It was my favourite. 🚙👌🏽❤️
Brings me right back....and I miss it ... Your vidz are really filled with soul! I was kind of the odd one out. A scrawny geeky 17 yr old girl obsessed with cars. I would love to go back and drive my celica, scirocco, and esp my 2 subaru XTs again. I would take that over having a run in an exotic car 🚗🌠🤓 yes, that quattro is just perfect. I think cars were more that just that a car, or cool or needed. It was a deeper level of what they represented to us, substantial meaning in our lives. Seeing one, brings us back to different times, hopefully for most, happy times...less complications and worries of today.
Thanks Ginny 👍
You correctly concentrated how it does look from behind. The only angle competition saw. 😄
Even today its one of those cars that you some times see out and about that puts a smile on your face,
Sure does 👍
First time I saw one of these in real life it literally flew past us, with Hannu Mikkola at the wheel in Kielder Forest. I've wanted one ever since. Wish I'd got one when they were still affordable now.
Me too 😂
Was very lucky to have an uncle that had one of the first 21 Quattros in the UK... it was like driving on rails... his was identical to this one 🙂👌
Cool 😎
We did not get them in the USA until 1983. Only 700 were brought over, we bought one and I still miss it today. It was so silky smooth over the mountain roads. Glad you like them.
Peter...as one who was “there” at the time, it is hard to describe how special an Audi...any Audi..was in comparison to other cars. One of my Dad’s friends managed to buy a new Audi Super 90 in 1970 and that seemed from another planet. Then the 100 was a car bought by your Doctor..they were never cars in the A3/A4 Tdi segment..they were always very special indeed. That Quattro was much more impressive to us enthusiasts than any McLaren is today. Then..if you had one, you were rich...very rich...PCP contracts were not even a dream and I like that. Your Quattro today was the road going car so it would feel soft but the later versions and the rally cars were far more wieldy and responsive...and to see one then was magical but beyond the pockets of any spectator. Today I watched JayEmm testing a 1990 Astra GTE 16v and discovering that a car he had simply dismissed or never thought about was in fact “fantastic”...he really loved the basic, involving, pure feel that modern cars no longer have..yes they do 0-60 before you get in them, have paddle shifts, ABS, clever handling, active suspension etc...and an average driver can get in and go fast...but that does not take skill. In an old car, the driver did the paddle shifts by getting it right, knew cadence braking so that was his ABS, learnt about under/oversteer sometimes the hard way and had a vastly more involving drive on roads not inflicted with cameras, speed control engineering, universal disapproval and it many ways it was safer....but then it could be dangerous and knowing THAT difference was the mark of a good driver..called “Harder than average” in period. I often say, how quick would a young Stirling Moss be in a McLaren Senna, AMG GTR Pro, Porsche GT2RS...I think he would be gone before a current driver knew where to look. Peter..thank you...I may never have owned one but today you brought back a host of good memories. I am glad I “was there”...🙂🙂🙂🙂Richard.
Wow thanks Richard 👍
Worth the wait for Friday Pete, even though I have never been in an Audi Quattro, I do reminisce about the first cars the simple cars, my first car a Triumph Herald 1200 and how simple things were back then, no sensors, no A/C, different smells, tune it by yourself, Fantastic turning circle, the car that is!!! So to see you so keen and thinking back to your youth made me do the same, just watching and listening to you, great video, more please!!!
Thanks John 👍
My grandfather who is now 80 owned one of these and has told me numerous times how much he loved it. Love the video
Cool 👍
Me again, great content this week, remember that ad as if it were yesterday. VW Audi always did quality ads (there’s a video theme for you). Rally footage so exciting too. Well done.
Cheers David 👍
Forget remembering cassette player, i remember 8 track.
😂😂😂
Brilliant tribute video, really enjoyed how you speak with such passion about it. 40 years ago I wasn’t even born.....
Thanks 👍
I never realised that before: the door opener on the inside is 100% original 1960ies Volkswagen beetle!!! Great Video!
Great review. Was amazing to see that car in the flesh 👍
Cheers Bud 👍
Very beautiful car. Thanks for sharing this.
Fire up the quattro! Winding cassette tapes on with a pencil, jumpers for goalposts! They were the days. Lovely car and great sound.
Oh yes 👏👏👏
This is why im now driving an older car once again. My A45 has gone, and now driving a 27yr old Saab 9000 Aero 2.3T with 360bhp. Ive replaced the entire suspension, and over 20 bushes. All balljoints etc and now it drives better than my A45 did. With no nagging computers trying to take over everytime you go into a bend too fast. 0-60 in 5.6, and 100 up in 10.5. Its quick, really quick. And yet today on a 3.5hr drive i averaged 40.5mpg. Just a brilliant car. Im never going back to a modern car.
Cool 👍
Simply awesome. Simple as that. Takes me back to leaving school and appreciating cars.
Cheers John 👍
Great video, will never forget watching the Quattro in Rally NZ back in the day. Still have a bit of that 5-cylinder warble, with an Italian overtone, in a Bravo HGT
I begged for an Audi Quattro poster in 1982 as young boy during a motoring show event in Amsterdam... I got it and I still have it today...
One of the most iconic cars ever, not just Audi but all motors ever! I would have given my bollox to have one!!!
Thanks for the video. Got so close to buying an Audi coupe so many times. Then I tried to scratch that 4wd itch with a VW Golf Rallye. I ended up with a rarer 2wd Golf G60 which was excellent. I finally did scratch the itch though when I bought a Golf 4motion 2.8v6 and got to experience the superb 4wd grip. On bends where my other cars would slide this thing was planted and I loved it.
Great video, I passed my test in the 80's and it got me thinking back especially with the old rally footage. Your reaction once again hit home the reason I refer to EV's as souless tools can you imagine in 40 years people waxing lyrical about the memories of their first nissan leaf ? I have my first quattro Audi at the moment and it's blown me away for spirited road driving it's a real surprise especially after coming from a fiesta ST.
Evening Pete, well what can I say ! The sound of the Quattro 5 banger is sweet music indeed, that and the Scooby flat 4 are so iconic and to me the best engine sounds ever. Sadly I don't think any new car in the future will ever have the same impact as the Quattro has had 😭. My first experience of the Quattro was on the RAC Rally in Wales and you could hear it coming through the forests for about 5 minutes before it reached you, simply epic as a rally car and as a road car it was so desirable and I'd sell a kidney to own one now in 2020. Forget all the modern computers and wizardry, stupid bloody heated seats etc, zap me back to the 80s when you manhandled a car through bends and hoped the brakes would do their job when called upon lol. I'm 56 now and I pine for the 80s, my cars the music the fact I was a teen and had no worries no health issues and God damn the girls were so much better back then. Gotta love the 80s car ads too, always a tasty young woman to draw us in 🤣. Who else hates this getting old business lol. Take care all 👍👍👍👍🏁
Great video mate.
And apologies to any ladies, if I haven't been PC by saying,
tasty young woman. I'm sure some snowflake will be offended 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
LOL 😂
When much younger I did some work in the school holidays as a stable lad for a horse trainer called Mick Lambert he had a red Quattro, no matter the weather the car was such fun. I got to go in the car with him to Market Resen races, remember the journey to this day.
How cool 😎
That is very, very special. You're a lucky guy, Pete.
I sure am 🙏🏻
Great video! My father had one for many years! When I was a little boy I used to sit on his lap and steer the car down the road! Wonderful memories, that sound brought it all back! Thank you.
Brilliant 👍
Wonderful video Peter, the Joy's of motoring back in the late 70s for me was my 1969 HT GTS Holden Monaro V8. I borrowed the money from the bank $2750.00 and I felt king of the road. You had to DRIVE the car, it was basic and I loved it. The sad thing is it would now be worth $70 to $100.000 today. Never mind they are great memories, and I still drive a Honlen V8 today. I should send you a photo of both cars ?? Anyway a beautiful Audi quattro well done Audi UK for letting you review it for all of us to enjoy, cheers DFDU 😎
Cheers Dave 👍
Ohh man this makes me even more desperate to finally get mine on the road. Great video, really enjoyed it.
Cheers Robert 👍
Hi Ped
As you know I am an Audi man and love Quattro. I will also admit to being “Old School” in more ways than one! Loved every minute of the video, cannot believe I owned one of these cars from new 40 yrs ago. Talk about a trip down memory lane, do not know whether to laugh or cry.😄😂 Maybe have a drink and celebrate having got this far.🍷🍷
You’ve owned some great cars mate 👌
Hi there, I beg to differ, as a former owner of a Jensen FF, I consider it to be the daddy of all wheel drive in a passenger car, they did it in the sixties!
Still a great video though, I have fond memories of watching Audi Quattro rallying.
My alltime dream car..wow, what a sound!!!!..LOVE IT..Audi made history with this Quattro..you lucky dude 😉👍
This was my poster car. A cutaway red/orange example and it still remains a dream car.
I think lots of things make this car special - Quattro and that 5 cylinder turbo engine - which just brings goosebumps and hairs on the back of my neck out from everybody that sees and hears such an iconic car. There is total admiration for this car and it as you say spawned many cars since. I think the 5 cylinder exhaust/engine note is, just pure evocative and lovely to hear. It made me purchase (several years ago) a Volvo S60R (2.5 5 cylinder turbo with Haldex AWD) as I needed that noise in my life. Nice video as always Pete.
Cheers Darren 👍
I drive a 2007 TT 3.2 DSG. Got to love a Quattro.
I use to own A6 C4 from 1996 in quattro 2.5tdi 5 cylinder. That was amazing car as well. And it was the same colour as that one on the video. Love audies
Cool 👌
Love that 5 cylinder note 😍. This car really takes me back to some great memories. 👍👌
Cheers Shane 👍
Your content is always very interesting and fun. This Audi was a wish I never fulfilled, thanks for the joy.
Thanks 👍
Now that's a real car! I remember back in the 80s I worked for a fashion company and one of our customers used to turn up on a weekly basis in a red Quattro. Boy did we drool over that.
Cool 😎
i love that souns of that 5 cylinder engine. i never had the provilige to drive a quattro but we are a family own two 5 cylinder Audis. first was a 2.1st audi 100 GL5 ( audi 80 in the Uk. Then we bought a Audi 200GLX 5E. This car was amazing . but the quattro is so iconic
Such a journey, what a privilege being able to drive something where it all started. I also particularly really enjoy the Quattro system as what some might say, I’m an Audi fanboy! Bring on the haters but nothing gives more joy than being to almost throw a car into the corners where it just sticks like glue!! Thanks for content, all the best.
I like that too 👍
Awesome vid, I miss my Quattro, '85 in Zermatt silver, had the rear window element with the Quattro logo and surprisingly still had the decals in the rear side windows.
I chuckled when you gave it some revs and smiled....only a Quattro owner knows that smile and that sound......is got to be the best soundtrack for a vehicle. You got a subscribe from me just from the vid, thank you again
Thanks for the Sub and welcome to the channel 👍
Thank you, Pete and thank you, Audi. While I drooled over the quattro I couldn't afford one fresh out of Uni. So I bought a 2 year old '86 Scirocco. Lots of similarities in some of the fittings. The squishy rear spoiler, how cool was that?!!
Love them 👍
Iconic car , your living the dream lol, great review as usual 👍
That takes me back watching the start of the Lombard RAC from Chester, used to take 2 weeks off work and along with my brother and follow the event around the
UK.😊 Every year.
Standing in Kielder at night watching these cars come through at full chat, wish those days would come back.
Again great review 👍👍
Regards Russ..
Cheers Russ
Ped quite simply this car is my ultimate dream! The noise the heritage it's just awesome!!!!!! There was a rally coloured example at an auto electrics garage near me recently. I literally drooled over it........
I can see why 👍
I used to put those Blaupunkt car stereos into customers new vehicles back in the 80’s. Special offer at the time included the upgraded in car entertainment and a free Ziebart bodywork anti corrosion treatment. How times have changed. Talking of time machines and driving an Audi Quattro, mind you don’t wake up as a Police Officer back in the 1980’s 🙂
😂😂😂
What a great video; a lovely and quite emotional summing up of why these older cars are so important to us. Great to see it being driven and not sat gathering dust in a corporate showroom 👍
Thank You 👍
I remember a magazine road test back in 1987 between a red quattro and a GPZ900r across a dark windy moor. Both impossibly desirable machines. I must have thumbed that article hundreds of times as a spotty yoof starting his motoring journey on a TS50 Suzuki.
Hi Peter, it‘s great fun seeing you having fun in a car that played such a great role in motor industry. But wasn’t the Jensen FF a four wheel drive car as well? It came out way back in 1966 and I think that‘s a good looker! I would have loved one as a Matchbox back then 😇! Do they have one at Gaydon and can you get them for a drive? At the Moulhouse car museum in France they have a range of about five historic cars every day you can drive on the museum’s circuit. I really enjoyed your Quattro video and I would love to see more reviews about old school cars that played an important role in car manufacturing 👍😀
My dad had the non Quattro version and I remember him picking me up from school when he collected it. First car I remember him having and I still remember the registration VDL905Y. Forgot about the boot release in the door, great to reminisce. Nice one 👍
Great review Ped. Loved seeing the original ad & rally footage. I was fortunate to drive a F plate my mate owned and they still feel quite modern in the way they drive - cracking cars!
Cheers Sim 👍
I am a huge fan of the Audi Quattro, watched it in its prime back in the 80’s winning all those rallies. Today I own and drive an Audi A4 Quattro and it’s by far the best car I’ve ever had. Thank you Audi.
Come on Ped, they understeered like oil tankers. I had an early Audi 90 5 pot (agree the noise was glorious) and once left a wet roundabout an exit too early..!
Please keep up great reviews like this.
I was lucky enough to own a quattro for over four years from 1987 and it remains the best car I should never have sold. Every journey was an event. Nothing came close to sounding so good. At the time the combination of four proper seats and so much useable performance, it was unbeaten. Four wheel drive, abs, electric windows and mirrors, digital display and even audible voice warnings (although I know many people had that disconnected). Undoubtedly the best looks and that glorious engine. You got used to the big gap in the gear ratios between second and third and the turbo lag. At the time the brakes were good and when most cars had tyres with a profile of 70, the 50 profile fitted to the quattro was pretty state of the art. I recall that the only other production car to have the same size tyre was a Lotus (Esprit?).
Living in Somerset it was the perfect car for blasts along the B roads across the Mendip Hills. So many happy memories.
Please don't refer to it as an Audi quattro coupe though, it's an Audi quattro, plain and simple!
Thanks for this 👍
I agree with you, the Audi quattro Coupe was a different model, this is the Ur quattro. And yes it should be spelt with a lower case “q”. Only the S1 got a capital “Q”.
200 bhp may not sound much today but back then most cars had way less than 100 bhp. Back then cars were a lot lighter too so bhp/ton was probably comparable to most cars today. Good times though
Cracking Video of a true classic and one thing I remember my dad having a VW Passat 2.2 5 cylinder and it had a noise of its own, unfortunately my dad had to give back when he was made redundant he was going to purchase it but his boss wanted to much money my dad said..!!, it's nice to have the older vehicles on your channel remence back in the day 🤗
Excellent work Pete allways look forward to watching your channel 👍
Thanks Nick. You will enjoy Friday then 👍
Pete I bet you didn’t want to take this back, what a legend of a car👍🧽🏁
It was tough 👍
The only distractions I had when driving 40 years ago would have been the young lady with the long legs and short skirt (Hopefully!!) who'd be sat in the passenger seat. But those stories are best left until after the 9pm watershed ;-))...
You said that you had a Celica too. But seemed a tad down about it? Why? They were really nice sports cars for the time.
I'm sure that a lot, if not all of the drivers you passed whilst in that Quattro, wouldn't have ever seen one before. I wonder how many actually "noticed" it. If I'd seen it, I'd certainly have had a "Wow!" moment :-))...
Great memories for the 50 something Peddlers, Pete. Thanks :-))...
I’ve had 2 Celicas 👍
@@PetrolPed 30 odd years ago, there used to be a Red Celica GT conv. that was park at the top of Broadway in the Cotswolds almost every time I drove through the place and I lusted after it ;-))....
Lets see a Celica GT4 on the channel :-) . Used to see one regularly in the Castrol livery
@@davidsomething4867 - I like your thinking. :-))...
Maybe even a Supra from the late 1990's.
The twin turbo'd 300+ bhp bullets :-))...
Love the Quattro rally commentary “ the attractive French girl is suffering from a cold....” ... the 21st century PC brigade would have spasms if that were broadcast live today 😂🙄😜
Someone would be offended 😂
Love the old school content, always wanted one of those but could never afford it....... More of the same please Pete, you seemed in your element in the old school world.......!! Keep em coming........
Will do 👍
Iconic car. As you say, it still looks fresh today. Remember seeing one of these in the 80s in red during around town, it would be a head turner now.
Great vid Ped 😊
It does just show how far we've come over 40yrs.
Hard to believe the Quattro Coupe came out 40 years ago , it still has a very distinctive design which has aged well and certainly was ground breaking in rallying but i always thought the 1966 Jensen Interceptor FF was the first four wheel drive production car , that 5 cylinder had a lot of character and unique sound , great to hear the sardonic tones of Geoffrey Palmer in the advert ( still with us at 93 ! ) , Audi boldly claimed that the engine was as smooth as a 6 and as economical as a 4 cylinder which was stretching the truth somewhat. I wonder if JLR could lend you an even more pioneering vehicle , the first Range Rover that has just celebrated its 50th anniversary , that would be epic !.
That would indeed be epic 👍
Great video and history lesson on the importance of this car. That S1 is so violent! Best bit - the ad with the Geoffrey Palmer voiceover! Haha!
...and William Woollard and Tony Mason just popped into my head too!
Found it and had to put it in 😂
I have not drive one since 1988. It would be fun to see if it was as magical as we thought. At the time, I thought it was so advanced.
It would be 👍
Audi Ur quattro turbo..... the iconic sound and the evocative feeling you get being behind the wheel, for me just simply the best driving experience.
I am bias cos for nearly 20yrs I still own one..... wouldn't want to part with it.
Was 17 in 1981 didn't really know to much about the Audi. However, did get to drive a 1983 Saab 900 turbo manual. At the time I thought that was the coolest car around. Back in the day when you got into the car with velour seats in your voucher track suit. Lol. The 80's makes me shiver.
Have to say brought back memories, first car to smoke all four wheels when joining the A12 at Colchester back then. Have to say not mine but a great friend who allowed me to drive. How great was that.
Blimey 😳
Ohhh..... the S1 Group B, a cacophony of wondrous sights and sounds. I fell in love with Audi when the 20valve UR Quattro came out, truly timeless and iconic. True game changers.
What a lovely video Mr Ped. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure Bud 👍
Great video. As already mentioned the Jensen Intercepter FF was the first 4 wheel drive saloon car, but the drive train was heavy and only made sense in a car with a 7litre plus engine. Audi designed a unique and light gearbox so with 2.1 litres and a turbo ( and on later models without turbo) they managed outstanding performance for the era, and still good by today’s standards. I owned one from 1992 to 2000 and I get what you say about parking it and people just showing great love for it. Mine never failed to draw a crowd. Every time I came back to it there were people round it. A true icon of a car. Get Audi to give you a late 20valve though and do a comparison video, over the 12 years of production the development is impressive, developed more during those early years than the 30 years since. If you get a 20 valve promise to take me for a ride though. I would love to be transported back in time to when I had mine. Keep up the good work
I originally wanted to have their 20v but it was already booked. I think I need to experience that one too 👍
@@PetrolPed Get them to lend you the short wheelbase S1 with 400bhp. Might have to stay on track so you don't crash it
I totally agree with you Pete that the 5 cylinder sound is hypnotic and makes you want to put your foot down to hear that sound. It is amazing that the car is 40 years old 👍
I was lovely 😍
This car has its place in automotive history for sure, nice video!
It sure is!
You are making some interesting TV sir! As for myself (I'm also 'built' in 1972) this was a huge icon in my young years. We also forgot how close all the spectators were on the rally circuit. I remember diving in a ditch when a car lost control on the Condroz Rallye. What a car this Quattro still is! Great thanks!
I'm sure people would have mentioned the Jensen FF, 1966=70 or there about. First production 4 wheel drive car .
Beautiful car! Enjoyed this Pete. Many thanks! Peter
Great to hear 👍
Awesome vlog pete,the Audi quattro,the daddy of them all,history was made with that model,and today audi still on it,do you know when the first ones actually came out,date wise,hey stay ,drive safe have a great weekend,
Great review of one of the best cars ever
Glad you think so!
Epic Video Pete , I remember these cars so much , Even as far back as VW made the Golf V5 .. The 6 cylinder or V6 never came to mind . It was always this Quattro that blew my mind away . 👍👍👍
You're living your best life of late, with all these iconic cars you have been testing. Excellent content Pete! 🇮🇪
I am a lucky guy 👍
Wonderful car and still looks fabulous today. The sound is unmistakeable!
Oh yes 👍
Driving any car from that time period, even some of the best, they don't compare to cars of today. Those cars required you to pay attention, and drive. Did you find any cup holders? How about something to hold your cell phone? Yeah, I didn't think so. I was stationed in Germany in the 80s and saw this model come of age. Was it cool? You bet. The only other car I saw then that looked as cool was a Mercur 4-door sedan with some cool looking spoilers. I wish I could remember more about that car, alas, I'm an old fart now, so those memories are fading. Thanks for bringing in a 40 year old classic, I didn't think you'd do a video on something as old as that. Cheers
Cup holder...not a sausage 😂
I’m lucky one to own one and enjoying every weekend 👍
Great video mate
Simply FANTASTIC video mate, definitely deserves more views.
Thanks Bud. Such a great car 👍
One of my friends mums had an Audi Quattro in the mid 80s it was red and the only car she owned, that her son wasn't allowed to drive!
A supercar in the 80's. A rally legend. A game-changer. A true car-lover's car. I still have cassettes with some great driving tunes on them. Yep, I'm REALLY old.
LOL 😂
Great video Ped, having worked for Audi the brand are and will always be proud of the Audi Quattro and what it now stands for. Nicely put together 👍
Cheers Scott 👍
Sorry forgot to say another great review Pete👍 thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed that. What an incredible car and as for that noise, especially on the gear changes 😍 Thank you for your fantastic content. Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
That's the car i've always wanted and i would never get it. I kinda envy you, man!
It was very special 👌
I had a black quattro. Non turbo back in 1993 . I was 19 . When you could buy 4 star petrol. It was a 1987 D registration car . Kept it for 10 year's . Still the best car I ever had. The 10 valve engine was amazing. 177000 miles before I had issues. I've never had a car sinse that took me everywhere and just made me love driving. Just found out that it's not been scrapped after putting the registration number in the government tax check but whoever has it has it sorned. Ten years without an MOT . how do I get this car back 🤷
Best car I ever had too. Also wish I still had mine👍
