Audi Quattro


 

This car was put on the road on the exact same day my brother was born, the 3rd February 1986! For those of you who wouldn't have recognised it, it is an Audi Quattro, the first one to have permanent four-wheel drive and the first car to combine four-wheel drive and turbocharger! This original Quattro has a 2.1l 5-cylinder engine with 200bhp. 0-62 takes the car 7.1 seconds with a top speed of 137mph or 220km/h.
The Quattro was brought back from its ashes a few years ago with the British series Ashes-to-Ashes and the famous catch phrase from DCI Gene Hunt: "Fire up the Quattro!"
