The original quattro for the "modest" with attachment
Of course, there were and still are four-wheel drive four-door cars from Audi, but the original quattro was only available as a coupé with two doors from 1980, at least almost. At the request of a former racing driver, the tuner - one would almost have to say special body builder - Günter Artz built a 225 km/h sedan in the 1980s based on the 33rd Audi quattro Turbo built (and registered on the day of its market launch (November 28, 1980)), which at first glance looked like its DM 12,000 counterparts.
At second glance, however, the protruding fenders and the additional cooling/ventilation grilles on the rear flank were recognizable, and the wheels were also clearly from the fastest production Audi of the time.
Louis Krages (alias John Winter, who together with Klaus Ludwig and Paolo Barilla won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1985 in a Porsche 956 C from the Jöst team) could not go all out for understatement and the conversion was probably not cheap either, but the four-door Ur-quattro was and still is something special to this day.
You can normally discover it at the Siku Audi and Oldtimer Museum in Stadtlohn, but until April 19, 2015 it was on display at the stand of the 1st Bavarian urquattro club E.V. at the Techno Classica in Essen.
