The Ultimate Quattro

The last Audi S1 to see active service was the most radical ever produced by the Bavarian team, the striking Pikes Peak S1 with a reported 720 bhp and even bigger wings. Walter Rohrl shattered the course record and was the first person to break the 11 minute barrier for the 12 mile course.

 

Audi did make a half hearted attempt at Group A with their "Luxury" Rally car, the 200 quattro. Despite success on the Safari with Rohrl, it was never seriously developed and the company moved to circuit racing.
