“I was a fan of the Quattro even before I drove it for the first time.” Double World Rally Champion Walter Röhrl remains captivated by the Audi Quattro, a car that transformed rallying with its turbocharging and four-wheel drive. Its World Rally Championship debut at Monte Carlo in 1981 marked a turning point in the sport; within just ten kilometers, Hannu Mikkola in the Quattro overtook the dominant Lancia Stratos of Bernard Darniche. The Quattro's exceptional traction and power made it legendary, winning the hearts of countless fans and securing Audi's place in rally history. Author John Davenport, a former rally co-driver and team manager, recounts the Quattro's journey rally by rally, detailing how four-wheel drive revolutionized the sport, Michèle Mouton's impact, and Walter Röhrl's legendary status with the Sport Quattro E2. Renowned rally photographer Reinhard Klein documented this era, capturing the spirit of the Quattro revolution with stunning, often unpublished images. This high-quality book also features a presentation of all Audi rally cars, from the Audi 80 to the Quattros and Coupé S2, along with a comprehensive statistics section, making it a must-have for enthusiasts.
