The greatest of them all...

It's the one car who brought my attention to rallye.
The one that brought my attention to AWD, and of course to Audi.

The one and only.
Audi S1
I get goose bombs of the pics.

Undoubtedly a great car. That big spoiler does make it look somewhat like a snow plow though.

Great pictures, Audiholic. The Quattro is such a great car! Michele Mouton was behind the wheels in some of those pictures. The 1980s all ladies French team was heavily criticized at the time, but it brought a lot of interest to rallying.

I think today's rallying lacks the flare and excitement of 1980s rallying. Look at the crowds in those pictures. The safety standards today are so rigorous and the 600 HP Group C rally cars are gone. Still, WRC had a fatality just a few months ago.
