Another awesome film! I love how Hagerty was like "hey remember when /drive was awesome? What if we just hired all of those people to do the exact same thing?"
The production quality is off the charts! Loving the fact that you can hear the sound of the engine so well, and that's on top of the beautiful shots. Fantastic video!
Once he opened the hood on Cheeto it was nostalgic for me. First car in high school was a 1998 A8 Quattro 4.2. Best car I’ve ever driven. Spent my whole summer in 2014 with my dad getting it running cherry. I took it up the mountains in the snow and it handled amazingly. The car would grip every turn and you’d just want to slam the gas pedal to the floor. Such an awesome video.
1998 A8 4.2 was my 2nd car in high school fun amazing car and 4 years after selling it, it showed up to my shop today, but I do love my current b8.5 S4 with the Sport Diff❤️
As someone who had one back in the late 2000s (it’s actually my dads car) I agree. I say it was the best sounding one. I need to upload that video one day.
Well done Ryan and Haggerty! We did an all encompassing documentary film/review on the 4.2 V8 last year, and this is a phenomenal video. You all are killing it right now! 💪
I loved watching rally races. They reminded me of racing on my ol' country roads. I learned about dirt tracking and handling in a pickup truck and a VW bug. So much fun running full out on those roads and learning the way to keep it on the road. Some roads were dirt roads and the others were gravel roads. Best fun i ever had on a country road:)
3:50 ‘ after introduction of 4wheel drive, no 2wheel drive car won the drivers or constructors championship ‘..... Audi won the constructors in 1982, but Lancia won it in 1983 with the 2wheel drive Lancia Rally 037 !
Yes, also Walter Röhrl, who was driving for Lancia at the time, didnt want to win the championship, nor did he want to drive in certain rallys. lol. And they won anyways.
You're misinterpreting the quote, which I guess I coulda written a little better. What I said was that after Audi took and manufacturers and drivers titles twice, there would never be another 2WD rally car to win the world championship. They completed winning two titles in the 1984 season... after the battle with Lancia's 037. But I'm very much aware of the 037 Quattro battle of '83.
@@RyanSymancek He is not misrepresenting your quote I think you should listen it again yourself. You've said 'Once Audi claimed these titles there would never be another 2 wheel drive rally car to win the manufacturers or drivers world championship'. I think he is right your statement is incorrect. Anyways it's a great video.
What a video! As an owner of various classic Audis I was surprised to see the 4000 getting love from Hagerty! One small little nitpick, Audi had the engines that far forward for years in the 70s with everything fwd. It wasn't the quattro that made them put it forward, it was like that all along. The 5 cyl just stuck out more than the 4s they mainly used previously.
Hmm yeah that's interesting. I've never seen a FWD 4000, but that makes sense that the axles would be in a similar location therefore not chaining motor location much.
Loved to see that green plate on the back! I am from Colchester, went to HS with Julie Buffum, John's daughter, the guy responsible for bringing Rally Car to the US... GREAT STUFF! GAS GAS GAS!
So far i really love that series. The cars are great, music and pictures are absolutely spot on and i cant imagine anyone more fitting to present it than Ryan. This isnt just car based entertainment as we've seen it hundrets of times allready. Its an astonishing composition for the souls of car enthusiasts. Thank you.
Just saw this vid today. My dad had an ‘85 4000 S quattro - which then became my 1st car. I loved that car. The engine was really torquey. I lived in a rural area. You could let the clutch out (slowly) and the car would drive UPHILL on idle. Great car and I’m glad to see one in such good condition still.
Great video. I worked at a local Porsche/Audi store in the Boston area in the mid 80s and loved driving all of the Quattros - 4000, 5000 and Coupe. I was an avid New England skier, and I must admit I wore a jacket not dissimilar to Ryan's while hitting the slopes at Loon, Waterville Valley, Cannon and Mr. Snow. Fast forward 20 years and I found myself on the West Coast co-driving a wild Ur Quattro in a few local SCCA Pro Rally events and driving a modern A4 Quattro in some road races, including one through the streets of Los Angeles.
Great work,thank u👍.... Man di u bring memories, the first tine I ever saw an audi was in 1980 and it was a hatch back quatro coloured red, I was 15 it was a hot summer afternoon in the eastern part of Saudi Arabia,,,it's like it's only yesterday. Thanks.
You only truly understand the magic of that drivetrain if you drive them. Hands down the most fun AWD car I have ever driven. The locking diffs just make it perfect to flick and put the power down!
Absolute bro move that the owner let his car get driven hard and filmed. That way the rest of of us can watch in amazement. That V8 brings the power up to where it needs to be. The 4000/80 quattro has legend status.
We did not have Audi 4000s in Latvia, but we did have the basically identical Audi 90 (b2) and so did my father for 8 years from when i was 6 years old. Oh how i loved that 2.2 5cylinder, that sound and my father liked driving it dynamicly. You can probably imagine my 6 year old little self hyping about the car . Truly a great car this is!
This was a fantastic video, beyond my expectations. The opening part with the 4000 was so engaging, I forgot that I had clicked on here for the rally Quattro... until it came up at the bottom of the ski hill. "Oh yeah, there's still this whole part!" Well done. I"ll echo what others have said, that the Hagerty channel has taken it up multiple notches, providing some of the most interesting and engaging automotive content.
This whole video was my freshman year going to College in Vermont from Connecticut... on my Neon 208cm Kastle Super G's weekend rips on Vermont back roads. My buddy had the Quattro, I had the Civic Si with snow tires only on the front tires (bad idea folks, 360 on the highway after a wind gust blew out my rear end)
@@constantinem7290 that sound brought me back. My first one was totalled and I looked around to see what was comparible and found nothing so I bought another one.
Yeah Constantine is right here, the 4000CS had 115 but this one is probably is a little worn. So I'd like to see what it puts out at the wheels this stage in its life.
Great video. I'd wondered what happened to the "My life as a rallyist" guy. Respect to Hagerty for supporting quality RUclips creators and also sponsoring radio Le Mans. Interesting you noted the engine placement. A friend of my dad built a V6 Audi S3 rally car for the British tarmac championship; he eventually moved the engine way back under the bulkhead to overcome the understeer problem.
Long time (and current) 4kq owner! Absolutely loved this video. Really tough to beat the 5cyl growl, but the V8 is just as intoxicating. I absolutely love taking car friends who have never experienced quattro in the snow, for rides :) Very well done!
Get yourself a couple of good co-hosts and you've got yourself a real American Top Gear program. Nice work. You've more than earned my subscription to your channel.

Epic epic epic!!! Oghh and also- Cammisa's e30 estate is just truly the most sensational thing ever created as far as pure drivers cars go
Well done! Nice historical info and the V8 car is awesome, it really gets down to business. I remember the days of Group B with Michèle Mouton, John Buffum, and Walter Röhrl: Those guys really cleaned-up!
Wow- I fortunate enough to have driven all these back in the day -now a 91 200 with a 3B motor and the best feature was the locking DEF when rock crawling you could put it in the second gear and get out of the car and let it climb. Come ski Taos. The skiing best rally roads.- and with those keys like 240s I miss my jacket

That I5 engine sound though 👍🏻
My first memory of the Quattro was that of Michele Mouton winning the Acropolis Rally. I was a little kid. Excellent.
Now that's how you ski, baby!! Neon all the way, hittin the bumps, bindings break-a-leg tight, no parabolic nothing. Do it, man -- RAD!!!! Love it.

What a video! As an owner of various classic Audis I was surprised to see the 4000 getting love from Hagerty! One small little nitpick, Audi had the engines that far forward for years in the 70s with everything fwd. It wasn't the quattro that made them put it forward, it was like that all along. The 5 cyl just stuck out more than the 4s they mainly used previously.
Hmm yeah that's interesting. I've never seen a FWD 4000, but that makes sense that the axles would be in a similar location therefore not chaining motor location much.
Just look at a GT coupe, or B1
They more or less just added a center diff to the fwd gearbox and keept everthing else in the same location.
I got a serious case of nostalgia watching the opening. My first car was an '86 4000 quattro. Loved it. Miss it. Take care of that little car, Ryan.
Its in good hands! It's not my car, but it's a close friend and it's well looked after. It will stay a stock example.
Thanks for giving us what Motor Trend took away.. Hagerty Is The VIP
