Advanced technology has always been at the very heart of Audi DNA. From the early years Audi engineers have set a standard of excellence with a number of automotive firsts: implementing quattro all-wheel drive in a luxury sedan, introducing lightweight aluminum chassis construction and utilizing LED headlights in production vehicles.
Progress was in every decision they made, every technology they invented, every vehicle they built. It is their past and their future. Audi’s reputation on the road has been amplified by a near-century long record of dominance in Motorsports.
Since the 1930s in the days of the silver arrows, Audi has consistently advanced the world of racing through revolutionary technologies, including the legendary Audi 5 cylinder engine and quattro all-wheel drive.
This Quattro coupe was a relatively low-run model, with just 11,452 built over an 11-year life. Audi went on to have more racing success with WRC driver and manufacturer wins in ’84.
Today, the Audi motorsport program consists of Formula E, DTM, World RX and more.
