There was a car dealership just in front of my college.
Every Wednesday, I went to see the beautiful Audi quattro exposed there.
As everyone else, at some point,
I wished for something, and I thought: "I will have one."
This car type had a particularity,
because it was a bit of a special commission from Audi France.
She is just as I bought her, which means:
the same color, the same interior design.
Cleaned, resprayed,
reconditioned.
There is no additions in particular, save for the stickers.
A typical old sports rally car,
big headlights to see the road a bit better at night.
She is absolutely an original one, and she works very well.
SHOT ON CLOSED ROAD
Driving this vehicle is really rather enjoyable,
because there is a real turbo that reaches 4,000 rpm
and propels the car.
Above all: the 5 cylinder sounds.
This is more than sounds, this is a melody
Raucous, muted, and at the same time with the <i>bang bang</i> of the combustion engine.
The 5 cylinder sounds...
It is something you have to listen to at least once in your life.
As long as you have not driven this type of machine...
It can seem fanciful or bragging but...
it is impalpable.
The large wings, it is everything.
It is not an Italian design, with fluidity, curves,
it is sharp-edged, and absolutely not aerodynamic,
it is raw and bestial.
It was a revolution.
A four driving wheels revolution, permanent, declutching.
It was an exploit for everyone, and especially for the team at the time:
Walter Treser, and then Roland Gumpert,
to have made a racing monster of a four driving wheels civil vehicle,
which is legendary today.
I wanted them all, now I have them all,
from model cars to real car,
paintings, books...
The Audi quattro 1980 is the car type from which everything started for the brand.
It is the rebirth, the revival, the...
In my opinion, it is the founding myth.
