I have a mint 1985 UR (WR engine) quattro, my son and I travelled all the way to San Marino in it from South Wales in the UK last October to attend the 'Rally Legend' event, it was a beautiful drive over the Swiss Alps and through the Gottard Tunnel etc, we were treated like kings when we were at the event. My son and his partner are going to carry out the same drive this year as we did, although I shall be taking the 'Silver Bird' with some friends on this occasion. See you all there !!
Walter Röhrl... Remembering Monte Carlo Rally back in the 80s with the Audi Quattro ; it was by night in a place called " Lardier " , french alps ; this man made the car howling in the mountains and with the echo , it was just amazing ; what a pilot !!!
I have an LHD 1980 UR in my garage, with an engine built by BR Motorsports. It hasnt been properly driven since 1995, but the BR engine rebuild was only done about 3000 miles before this. Hmmm. I am looking forward to getting this back on the road. I don't think there are many left in such good and original condition. It was all A ok when I last moved it in 2003. It will need work after standing. I may consider an offer from a serious contender, as it is in the UK & I am in Australia....
@DieBuechlers Thats correct - but there is no S1 in this Vid . It´s the Audi Quattro A2 , the second evolution of the Audi Quattro ( Street Car ) . They started with the Group 4 car followed by the first Group B car ( Audi Quattro A1 )
@TheMaurideep You are absolutly right . The first Quattro was a Group 4 car , but the first and second evolution both are group B cars . I have a copy of the Homologation Papers .
The Audi quattro A2 had 420 HP. That was the maximum power out of the 10 Valve engine. The 20V engine started with 450 HP and ended up with 550 HP to 600 HP.
The fact that, at the time this video was released. This man was 64 years old, can you just bloody think of it that way, Such precision, such fine control over the car at the age when people are confined to the likelihoods of their homes just wanting to live a comfortable life. Sir Walter Rohrl is doing one of the most darings that one could imagine
Youre so right. I spoke 4 years ago someone I prepare heads for hillclimb for, telling me at an international hillclimb that Rörhl drove just for fun with a ( ur ? Dont know anymore) Quattro up the hill finishing 4th or so without helmet and VERY relaxed. He got out of the car without sweating and walked to restaurant to get a coffee. Lots of other drivers finished behind him and getting out of car exhausted and sweating ...... He told me Rörhl is God regarding vehicle control.. Despite that he said that Rörhl is a little bit arrogant but compared to his fame etc etc its nothing. He also said : still a very nice bloke !!!!
@Quattroowner of course, i dont even know if the normal "quattro" have had FIA fiche for B group. and yes the subtile discrimination you wrote is correct, i agree the exact name is S1 E ( like Evo ) 2.
Immer wieder eine Freude zu sehen und v.a hören! Fein nur zu für uns "durchaus erfahrene, aber normalsterbliche Quattrofahrer" zu sehen, dass sogar einer wie der Walter (und den gibts echt nur einmal) in manchen Kehren (2.33) das untersteuern nicht ganz unterbinden kann (bei diesem Speed) Super Vid - thx4sharing
I wish i had a chance to meet him. What a reporter....She stands next to him and she does not realise who actually is that person. Its a legend!!!!!!!!!! She not only met him , she was also a co driver.
it was beaten by the lancia Rallye, correct, a 2wd mid-rear engine supercharged(no turbo) car based on the lancia monte carlo. the hybrid of this car came the s4, a true monster. do you know one of the audi sport quattro haad a double clutch gearbox back in those times? amazing
Walter Rohl is a driving maestro-like all great drivers it all happens so easily for them.Just soooo smooth behind the wheel.And lets not forget that he's driving a car with a lot of weight ahead of the front wheels so it understeers big time!!!
@Einhander49 U can not simply turn off the turbo , u can turn down the boots . On ceremonial events normaly the drivers did not rev up to the max . ...
@SangueVerde7 the S1 drived by Stig is an evolution of this model which did compete in 1984, the S1 was the version for 1985 championship and the S2 was the last evolution, 1986. in 1986 after the deat of Henry Toiovonen FIA did stop the group B cars, unfortunately....
Amazing driver and vehicle....we've seen all the tech details but not know how big Herr Roehrl's foot...for this speed. Guys, what are the exact colors of the Audi Racing strips: red-silver(lt grey) and black or graphite??? It is not an everyday car to see and check. fantastic arrival at 4:00...:)))))))) Biggest respect thanks for uploading. prep
It sounds like they have turned off the anti-lag to prevent the turbos wearing excessively. Sadly it means we miss out on all the flames, popping and banging that's associated with it.
Sich nach 26 Jahren in sein altes Auto zu setzen und so den Cole hochzuheizen, Quattro hin oder her, das ist schon mächtig beeindruckend, zumal die Straße sehr unberechenbar war. Es gibt einen ähnliches Video mit Stig Blomquist; Aber was für ein Unterschied.
Fuck. That's one thing I have noticed when the quattro is run in ceremonial events - they usually turn off the turbos. WTF, man. We wanna hear the beautiful bang.

"Walter Röhrl, Ladies and Gentlemen!" - five words that say it all.
See the is vid " Walter Rörhl " on the channel " Audi France "
Finest driving lesson one could ever have!
he drive the Audi quattro A2 like in old times. Respect for the best rally driver of all times.
A Master at his best.
I would kill to take the passenger seat with this man! Indeed a legend.
That gave me goose bumps, freakin' legends, both Walther and the quattro.
Walter, you are a legend.
not a legend, he is the legend!
What a legend....

Röhrl ist nicht nur Fahrer, er war ein Künstler auf 4 Rädern. Respekt!
War? Ist :)
I had a ride up this hill in 2005 with Walter in a Porsche - a thrill for sure!
What Porsche?
Walter Röhrl... Remembering Monte Carlo Rally back in the 80s with the Audi Quattro ; it was by night in a place called " Lardier " , french alps ; this man made the car howling in the mountains and with the echo , it was just amazing ; what a pilot !!!
Iconic car with an even more iconic driver!
that was an amazing good onboard cam!
"Like it was yesterday" damn fine driving
could still show todays wrc lot a thing or two. walter you are the greatest!
I am happy to see that the gap between the rear bumper and the chassis on the original car is the same as on our replica :-)
My favorite pilot and car all time! Two legends, like he says this Audi 4 was a monster
The definition of a "Perfect race driver". Legendary man. Very nice video
this is the godfather of all racingdrivers going for it...just for fun and still, sooooo fast. Walther forever!
Awesome , love the Audi Quattro and that sound ! OHH
See the is vid " Walter Rörhl " on the channel " Audi France "
Walter Röhrl in a Quattro is the Lord driving a car.
Or Chis Lord in a Quattro is trying to be a Rohrl..check RUclips. Sorry I don't have umlauts...
Let’s give this a like some 12 years later ❤
awesome
This is a legend of rallying. A larger than life figure
I have an LHD 1980 UR in my garage, with an engine built by BR Motorsports. It hasnt been properly driven since 1995, but the BR engine rebuild was only done about 3000 miles before this.

@TheMaurideep The A1 and A2 Version of the Audi Quattro was homologated for Group B ...

this guy is the real deal. hes a legend. this is a serious video
legendary car driven by legend!
Un uomo nato x correre,un vero professionista la sua umiltà e simpatia lo ha reso grande,uno dei migliori al mondo ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!
The legend
Congratulation for Walther Rohrl!!!!
He is a legend!!!!!
Tks Autocar!!!
@Quattroowner i know the quattro sport was a group. B of course but.....the first quattro ( january 1981)was homologated for gr.4.
@TheMaurideep You are absolutly right . The first Quattro was a Group 4 car , but the first and second evolution both are group B cars . I have a copy of the Homologation Papers .
@Nihilus56 Its supposed to have about 360hp, since its the audi sport quattro, and not just the 'normal' quattro with around 220hp.
U can see "PASSION" from his face expression..
It is Col de Turini, in the Alpes-Maritimes region in France. (Gran) Torino is a Ford and a movie from Clint Eastwood involving... a Ford Gran Torino.
Walter is such a stud.
Wonderful... Wonderful... Wonderful.
Little mistake on the info text. At 3:02 it says 265bhp (360kw). It should be 265kw (360bhp)
That road looks like so much fun to drive
@ThurgoodJankins7 They mixed it up , the Audi Quattro A2 has 265 KW / 360 HP
Output should be 360hp (265kw)
Not the first versions of the S1. That was later years.
@@TitaniusAnglesmith This is not an S1 this is a early A2 and had exactly 265kw equals 360hp.
@Melon Berd S1 had almost 600HP... but yeah, they mixed hp and kW
The Audi quattro A2 had 420 HP. That was the maximum power out of the 10 Valve engine. The 20V engine started with 450 HP and ended up with 550 HP to 600 HP.
A Legend at the controls of a Legend...

@Nihilus56 Yes the have made a mistake , the A2 Quattro has 360-380 Hp
@Quattroowner of course, i dont even know if the normal "quattro" have had FIA fiche for B group. and yes the subtile discrimination you wrote is correct, i agree the exact name is S1 E ( like Evo ) 2.
63 year old guy driving like this... wow Mr. Walter, much much respect for u
Immer wieder eine Freude zu sehen und v.a hören!
Fein nur zu für uns "durchaus erfahrene, aber normalsterbliche Quattrofahrer" zu sehen, dass sogar einer wie der Walter (und den gibts echt nur einmal) in manchen Kehren (2.33) das untersteuern nicht ganz unterbinden kann (bei diesem Speed)
Super Vid - thx4sharing
@rignrolltrucker It's the porsche martini racing suit ;)
I wish i had a chance to meet him. What a reporter....She stands next to him and she does not realise who actually is that person. Its a legend!!!!!!!!!! She not only met him , she was also a co driver.
awesome driving
At 3:00 It gives "Output: 265bhp (360kW) at 7000rpm" Shouldn't that be reversed?
Kw is always higher than Bhp I think
maladsyko No, it's 265 kw and 360 bhp!
Indeed
@AeroFix94 Maybe the boost has been turned down to save the engine/ turbos.
it was beaten by the lancia Rallye, correct, a 2wd mid-rear engine supercharged(no turbo) car based on the lancia monte carlo. the hybrid of this car came the s4, a true monster. do you know one of the audi sport quattro haad a double clutch gearbox back in those times? amazing
@McLarenMercedes5001 yeah, the sport quattro was the one with crazy power but this milestone in particular was the introduction of 4wd
Now that well over a year has gone, how about releasing the entire onboard fotage? That'd be pretty nice indeed Autocar!
Walter Rohl is a driving maestro-like all great drivers it all happens so easily for them.Just soooo smooth behind the wheel.And lets not forget that he's driving a car with a lot of weight ahead of the front wheels so it understeers big time!!!
@Einhander49 U can not simply turn off the turbo , u can turn down the boots . On ceremonial events normaly the drivers did not rev up to the max . ...
The Master at Work!
@Hirschi74 This Car in not an S2 , This Car is a Audi quattro A2 ( Rallycar )
S2 is the ordinary Audi Coupe .
Not long and our project Audi Quattro A2 is finished , i guess we have to do a little joyride to the Col ... :-)
i'd love to see some footage like this of a full blown run with codriver. not enough high quality footage like this to be found.
I couldn't understand what she was saying under the helmet at the end but I think she was quite impressed.
He's really a great person!
Thats what driver and car were trained and build for!
Awesome!!
perfect uniqe engine sound!!!
I love the wierd off note noise of those 5 cylinder engines...
SUPER !
What a legend!...
he s a demon ... i love his style ! and now i m about to buy an old coupe ,and transform it into a quattro ...yuppyeyy
@yaroukh I think it means that 265bhp is 360kw.
@SangueVerde7
the S1 drived by Stig is an evolution of this model which did compete in 1984, the S1 was the version for 1985 championship and the S2 was the last evolution, 1986. in 1986 after the deat of Henry Toiovonen FIA did stop the group B cars, unfortunately....
2 things - 1) you got the bhp / kw wrong and 2) I love that Martini overall!
A true gentleman driver and one of the fastest ever.
we would like to see the full stage recorded by onboard cam?
Amazing driver and vehicle....we've seen all the tech details but not know how big Herr Roehrl's foot...for this speed.
Guys, what are the exact colors of the Audi Racing strips: red-silver(lt grey) and black or graphite???

fantastic arrival at 4:00...:))))))))
Biggest respect
thanks for uploading.

Man i dont know nonthing about him but i tell yeah one thing he do look like a legend
great video of twoRally legends!!
@Nihilus56 They simply mixed it , the A2 has 360-380 Hp
So what of course the focus would win but the Audi was a major staple in the World of Rally that will never be forgotten.
Walter Röhrl the Master in the trade and the legend he created, it's the Ford lovers never ending nightmare 🐦 🐦 🐦
remarkable the fact he wears a Martini Racing suite :-)
@serpentchimera well that would be interesting! röhrl in his quattro s1 against the WRC
Mi è sempre piaciuta questa Audi Sport, quando correva Michelle Mouton era una favola.
Wow he still has it after all these years.
It sounds like they have turned off the anti-lag to prevent the turbos wearing excessively. Sadly it means we miss out on all the flames, popping and banging that's associated with it.
Einwandfrei Walther. Deutsche Legende.
@berlinixx I noticed it too and you are 100% correct. Probably just a typo :)
One of the best
In comparison what could the Focus do in todays rally?
@karelpipa i liked those volvo 850 estate toring cars, they looked mad on the track!
why is that to find under "walter röhrls audi s1" because its an s2?
Sich nach 26 Jahren in sein altes Auto zu setzen und so den Cole hochzuheizen, Quattro hin oder her, das ist schon mächtig beeindruckend, zumal die Straße sehr unberechenbar war. Es gibt einen ähnliches Video mit Stig Blomquist; Aber was für ein Unterschied.
AT his age hes still got it!
The producers made a mistake in the car data.
Its 265 kW and 360 bhp not the other way round.
Fuck. That's one thing I have noticed when the quattro is run in ceremonial events - they usually turn off the turbos. WTF, man. We wanna hear the beautiful bang.
I want the whole 16 minutes from in the cockpit. THAT would be sick
I agree! One of the best.
Legend.
Would like to see how much quicker he could go in a current WRX Citroen / Subaru.
this is way better of a machine.
not any faster ...
Linu But much better looking and it sounds amazing
TheRockingRobby i dont think so the s1 is sounding sooo sexy
Linu that's why I said the s1 sounds better
