AUDI QUATTRO 1983

1 min read

The 1983 Quattro featured a distinctive “ur-Quattro” (ur is German for “original”) design, known for its muscular, boxy silhouette and flared wheel arches.

Innovative All-Wheel Drive: Its permanent 4×4 system was funneled through a modified front-wheel-drive setup, with a central lockable differential distributing power. This technology offered superior traction and handling, particularly on tricky surfaces.
Five-Cylinder Engine: The car was powered by a version of Audi’s signature five-cylinder engine, known for its unique sound.
Interior: The cabin featured sporty Recaro-style seats and the new digital instrument cluster.

Perfect example how to have great old skool car without any modifications !!!
