Since 2007, the top model has been the Audi R8, the first super sports car to feature the four rings. In 2020, the production business, vehicle customisation, Audi exclusive and all motorsport activities of Audi Motorsport were combined under the umbrella of “Audi Sport GmbH”. Audi Tradition 11 Anniversary Dates 2023 When Audi presented the Audi quattro and its permanent all-wheel drive at the Geneva Motor Show in 1980, it triggered a wave of all-wheel-drive vehicles that revolutionised the world of international rallying from 1981 onwards. To maintain its edge over its competitors in the world of rallying for a longer period of time, from the summer of 1982 Audi developed a quattro with a shorter wheelbase and a dual overhead camshaft engine with four valves per cylinder. However, under international sports regulations, to be able to enter a vehicle like this in Rally Group B first you need to build a series with at least 200 units. The Sport quattro was unveiled at the Frankfurt International Motor Show in September 1983. The “short quattro”, as it was often lovingly referred to, was brimming with high-performance technology. Its 225 kW/ 306 hp made it the most powerful German production car of its day. The development engineers managed to strike the perfect balance between a pure sports car offering breathtaking performance and a reliable road vehicle which could also easily be driven in rush-hour traffic. The body of the Sport quattro was made of aramid and fibreglass-reinforced plastic as well as carbon fibre/ Kevlar composite materials and, due to the small number of units, it was made at the bodywork company Baur in Stuttgart. The corresponding plastic body parts were supplied by the Swiss company Seger + Hoffmann. The first vehicle in the small series of 214 units was built in February 1984.

2016 No 6 AUDI SPORT EXPRESS 24hLe Mans F I A W E C Season highl ight 24h Le Mans D T M Trophies from the L ausitzr ing G T 3 Happy Audi R8 LMS drivers This week, the most important date of the year is on your calendar, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. After 17 years and 13 wins, what is still crucial? Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich: You’ve always got to be prepared for a surprise. Even if you are prepared as thoroughly as possible, every edition of the race will have new aspects to be considered. There is always a hazard lurking around the corner. That is why it is such a special race. What’s Audi’s target? We have never had such a powerful race car like the R18 and never before did we use such a small amount of fuel per lap. Ten years after the fi rst win of a TDI-powered car at Le Mans, we’ve got to cope with 46.3 percent less fuel. That said, we are lapping faster than a decade ago. It’s all about progress, effi ciency and a good performance when compared to our strong competitors. What do you expect for the 84th edition? I’m sure that this year’s Le Mans race has all of the ingredients to be a classic. At least three teams are set to fi ght for victory in a stunning fi eld of 60 cars in total. In the past, more than 250,000 spectators fl ocked to the circuit to see the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I hope that we will have one of the greatest events in international motorsport once again this year.
