Car articles about Audi 200 - 2.1 Turbo by year
50 years after Bernd Rosemeyer, records were to be broken again. With a five-valve five-cylinder engine and 650 hp, Audi launched an attack on Mercedes-Benz in 1988 and sent a specially prepared 200 Turbo Quattro to Italy. The Nardò project was preceded by a similar one with NASCAR ambitions, but it was equally disappointing. This article recalls Audi's record attempts in the USA and Italy and shows many photos of the 1988 car.
Four rings, four driven wheels, five doors and five cylinders with turbo - equipped in this way, the Audi 200 Avant Quattro was the perfect car for Switzerland - and also for actress Audrey Hepburn, who once ordered the "lhasa green" example in our photos. Thanks to its outstanding aerodynamics, the all-wheel drive truck from Ingolstadt left far behind. However, it lost valuable cargo space due to its sleek hatchback. This article presents the top version of the Audi Type 44.
In 1988, Audi won the American Trans Am Championship at the first attempt with an Audi 200 quattro Trans Am, which was used for the first time and only in that year. The dominance was so overwhelming that the regulations were changed for the following year and all-wheel drive and European engines were banned. This report looks at the history and concept of the Audi 200 quattro Trans Am. In addition, interviews were conducted with two of those directly involved - Dieter Basche and Erwin Himmel - which shed further light on the story.
