1984 Audi Sport Quattro: The Racer’s Daily

Рет қаралды 602,742

André Lotterer was born in a motorsport family. His father had a racing team in Belgium that has been one of the very first ones to play around with Audi rally cars. That was a long-wheelbase Quattro. A wonderful if slightly oblong mix of five cylinders sending power to all four wheels. André loved the sound especially.
It was an entryway into motorsport, and soon André began racing karts. It turns out he wasn’t all that bad. In fact he was good enough to drive on the winning team three times at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He earned those wins with Audi, completing a pretty impressive circle that began with seeing the rally cars his dad worked with many years ago. To make it an even more comprehensive story, he now calls this souped-up Sport Quattro his daily driver. Not your typical transportation, but then again this is Monaco we’re talking about.

He grew up around a racing Audi and ended up winning Le Mans three times in a (very different) racing Audi! What a great story - and what a mega Sport Quattro!

Frenzied Unicorn Productions Agreed, and indeed the Celica is a PITA to get parts for, I had a 1991 Japan spec one and I even had to wait something like a month for new wipers to come from Japan, and the brake pads took 4 months if I recall correctly. It was okay for a while but then it started needing more and more bits and attention and I passed it on to another guy who had new energy to put in it.

Sincerely It was an amazing experience watching the car in person.

The 5 cylinder sound, the Quattro and race heritage of this vehicle has set the tone for what we have come to know today in the RS3 sedan and the Quattro suspension in the other Audi models. To see someone this young and so passionate about a vehicle like this is fantastic . It also means he is quite sophisticated and that he uses it as a daily driver! Wow!

I'm a real Peugeot fanatic. Growing up in the 80's the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 has become my ultimate dream car, from the same era as the Quattro, but still, if i could choose one, it would be the Quattro. I know how strange that sounds... Its Spartan and brutally honest 80's looks are magnificent, but it's the unmistakable and haunting sound of the 5 cilinder what makes it otherworldly. This man could not have better taste.

I think you are talking about the Audi Quattro, on which the Sport Quattro (the car in the video) is based on. 214 Sport Quattros were built between 1984 and 1985. Of the 214, 20 became competition rally cars, in the World Rally Championship under the Group B rules between 1984 and 1986. 164 were sold to the public through selected Audi dealerships in (then) West Germany, for around 200.000 German Marks each, which would be something like $US 180.000 today. The remaining 30 cars became rolling testbeds, museum pieces, some were cannibalized for spare parts, and two were kept for use by Audi executives (painted in black, the only two to have that colour). The car that Lotterer is driving in the video is worth between $US 530.000 and 590.000, that's how much they sell for. If you want to buy one the 20 competition cars, you'll have to fork up 1.5 million to start with, though they very rarely come up for sale.
