Back in the 1970s and before, the cars that dominated Rally events were mostly rear wheel drive powerhouses. Every once in a while a front wheel drive car would creep into the top ranks (think original Mini Cooper S). All of that changed in the mid-80s with the introduction of Audi’s Quattro.
And when I think of an Audi Quattro, I think of the Audi quattro Sport S1 Evo. That is the bad boy that dominated Rally racing for several years in the mid to late 1980s. It looked like someone took a nice Sport and sectioned a foot out of the middle… and that is largely what happened.
On eBay right now, there is a nice looking Coupe GT. It isn’t the short wheelbase Sport, and it is far from an Evo model, but it is the platform. It would be fun to turn it up to around 500hp and make a tribute Rally car out of it…
