The 1980 Audi Quattro belongs to that small group of cars able to rewrite the rules completely. Before it, permanent all-wheel drive seemed unnecessary in road-going sports cars. After the Quattro, the whole industry understood where the future was heading.
The car that revolutionised modern rallying
Its arrival in the World Rally Championship was simply devastating. The combination of turbo power and all-wheel drive made the Quattro an instant reference and forced every manufacturer to rethink its competition cars.
Tamiya and one of rallys most important model kits
Tamiya has been a benchmark in plastic modeling for decades, and kits like this explain why. Clean engineering, precise assembly and the feeling of a model made to be enjoyed while building.
An essential piece for any classic WRC fan
The Ur-Quattro is a cornerstone for any rally collection. Even today it still carries something special: that mix of German engineering, eighties brutality and the birth of a new era.
