Audi Sport Quattro by AUTOart

When Group B rallying replaced the older Group 4 category for the 1983 World Rally Championship, Audi found themselves at a disadvantage against arch rivals Lancia with their new 037 rally car. The Quattro had been developed according to Group 4 regulations which were far more restrictive than the new Group B regulations and which meant the Quattro A1 rally car was generally outclassed by the Lancia 037. The Lancia had been designed to Group B rules from the start, which meant it was much lighter and more agile than the competing Audis, thanks to bodywork that was made from the composite material kevlar, which is very light but very strong. Kevlar or carbon fibre bodywork had only one major disadvantage in the early 1980s and that was it's enormous cost. To build 400 road cars with carbon fibre body shells (as would have been required by Group 4 regulations) the cost would have been prohibitive. But under Group B rules, only 200 had to be built to homologate a car, so it was feasible to build 200 cars for sale with the advanced material.
The 037 only had rear wheel drive, so therefore lost out to the heavier Audis when the conditions were very slippy, but on rally stages where traction was not as big of a problem, such as on tarmac, the Lancias were quicker. They generally handled better thanks to their mid engined design with a short wheelbase and short front and rear overhangs. This made the car quick to change direction and very "chuckable" in corners. The Quattro had a tendency to oversteer, thanks to the engine being mounted far up front, making the car nose heavy. The long wheelbase made the car slower to change direction as well.
To address these problems, in 1984 Audi introduced the Sport Quattro, which had nearly a foot taken out of it's wheelbase and used kevlar in it's bodywork extensively. 214 Sport Quattros were built in total and today (2006) roadgoing Sport Quattros are high sought after. The roadgoing car produced 306bhp, while racing versions put out in excess of 450bhp. The new car made it's competition debut in the 1984 San Remo rally (the 10th round of that years World Rally Championship) but both cars entered failed to finish. The next event, the Ivory Coast rally in Africa saw the first win for the Sport Quattro, by driver Stig Blomqvist and co-driver Björn Cederberg.
Unfortunately for Audi, the following year saw the introduction of the Peugeot 205 T16, which had all the advantages the Lancia 037 had over the Quattro (short wheelbase, mid-engined, lightweight and very nimble) plus 4WD. Hence the Sport Quattro managed only one win in 1985 and often finished in second place behind a 205 T16.
Things were no better in 1986, and following a terrible accident in the 3rd round Rally of Portugal in which a Ford RS200 crashed into a crowd of spectators, killing 4 and injuring many more, Audi withdrew from the World Rally Championship. Group B rallying was on the way out. The cars were considered to have become too fast for safety and the death of Lancia Delta S4 driver Henri Toivonen and his co-driver Sergio Cresto in an accident on the Tour de Corse was the final straw (following the deaths in Portugal). Group B was killed off at the end of 1986, and for 1987 Group A would become the top category in International rallying.
This model of the street version of the Sport Quattro is made by AUTOart. It was first released at the end of 2003 in red as an Audi dealer exclusive model, and was also released for general sale through hobby retailers in 2004 in both green and white. The green and white cars look superb but I especially wanted to get the red one. Personally I think it looks absolutely fantastic in red, although the car itself with it's odd truncated proportions is no beauty. It is however purposeful looking and therefore in a way good looking! I had a hard time finding one as my local VW/Audi dealer was not able to order one for me, but I eventually got one from a German retailer on eBay in early 2006.
Overall it is another nice model by AUTOart, with a nicely finished interior, great lights and brake detail, and it also has some nice touches such as the metal stay for holding up the bonnet. A common failing with many current AUTOarts however (as of 2007) is the lack of markings on the sidewalls of the tires. I'm sure this has something to do with the cost of licensing to use a tire makers trademark, but I do think the tire walls look terribly plain without any markings at all.
A good effort by AUTOart and one which does a good job of replicating the real thing, especially when compared to the photos of the full sized version in red that I took at the 2005 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
