In contrast to the established Rally quattro A2, the Sport quattro with its four-valve engine delivering 400 hp initially displayed plenty of teething problems that were only overcome towards the end of the season. A total of 22 Sport quattro in the Rally version were made. Audi Tradition 33 Anniversary Dates 2024 Walter Röhrl joins Audi The first test drive of an Audi Rally quattro was performed by Walter Röhrl back in 1981 along with Audi’s sports director at the time, Walter Treser. Despite all the hype coming out of Ingolstadt, Röhrl was sceptical about whether this new development would be reliable enough. It was not until the end of 1983, not least at the behest of the then Audi CEO, Dr. Ferdinand Piëch, that he signed a two-year contract, primarily for test driving. Röhrl had to fundamentally change his driving style, which was attuned to rear-wheel-drive vehicles. According to the two-time world rally champion, the “penny dropped really quickly” and he demonstrated this in impressive style with his victory in the Monte Carlo Rally in January 1984.

After leaving Group B, in 1987 Audi entered the Audi 200 quattro, but it left the world of rallying the same year. Also in 1987, Röhrl drove a heavily modified Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 to the summit of Pikes Peak in the USA in a record-breaking time. 1988 saw Röhrl undertake tests and races with the Audi 200 in the Trans-American Championship. The following year, Röhrl, who came from Regensburg, drove the Audi 90 IMSA GTO so that in 1990 he could compete with Audi and the brandnew Audi V8 DTM in the German Touring Car Championship. His involvement with the Ingolstadt-based carmaker ended in 1992.
