For the Audi subsidiary formerly quattro formaggi sauce “quattro GmbH”, see Audi Sport GmbH. The Audi Quattro is a road and rally car, produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group.

The word quattro is derived from the Italian word for “four” to represent the fact that the vehicle delivers power to all four wheels. The name has also been used by Audi to refer to the quattro four-wheel-drive system, or any four-wheel-drive version of an Audi model. The Audi Quattro was the first rally car to take advantage of the then-recently changed rules that allowed the use of four-wheel drive in competition racing. It won consecutive competitions for the next two years. The quattro was internally designated Typ 85, a production code it shared with the quattro versions of the Audi Coupé.

The idea for a high-performance four-wheel-drive car was proposed in 1977 by Audi’s chassis engineer, Jörg Bensinger, after he found that the Volkswagen Iltis military vehicle could outperform other vehicles when tested in the snow. An Audi 80 variant was developed in co-operation with Walter Treser, Director of Pre-Development. The displacement of the engine was dropped slightly from 2144 cc to 2133 cc with a bore x stroke of 79. Rally car so that Audi could satisfy the 3-litre rallying class with a 1. The Quattro was partially hand-built on a dedicated line. Exterior styling received little modification during the Quattro’s production run.

Originally, the car had a flat front grille featuring four separate headlamp lenses, one for each of the low and high beam units. This was altered for the 1983 model year with combined units featuring a single lens housing twin reflectors. The rear suspension was altered early on with geometry changes and removal of the rear anti-roll bar to reduce a tendency for lift-off oversteer. At the same time the suspension was lowered by 20 mm with slightly stiffer springs for improved handling. Sales of the Quattro in North America began in the 1983 model year.

The Canadian market cars were identical to the U. Most of the 1984 and 1985 Canadian models came without sunroofs. The Audi quattro Spyder was a mid-engine coupé equipped with a 2. 8-litre V6 engine taken from the Audi 100.
