Forget those trend Supras and Skylines.. There's some real power from the 80's and in a car which doesn't break down in pieces if the pavement ends and gravel roads start. 8)

Notice the funny rev counter.. 0 is the first number and after that comes 6000. :mrgreen: Boost comes on a little later. But as oldschool rally drivers already said "low end torque isn't real power" :lol:

In Norway we had a red Urquattro that used to go on the track in "streetmeets and streetcar arrangements".
It had 750 hk.

Now they have changed car, from the Urquattro - to a Volvo 343.

With 750 horsepowers!

Thats Bad to the Bone. :twisted:

Very cool car, but the driver seemed a bit novicie in his driving style, however much respect to the power!!!!!!!

These things are awesome, I will have an '88 quattro at some point.

shame you can't pick up a decent example for less than 6 grand

You can get 100 or 200 quattro much less money and I think same engine in those too, of course bit more weight, but nice sleeper :P

One neighbour here has Audi 5000, V8 and really nice sound at least, but don't know much more about that, I think was not sold here originally. Basically it is Audi 200 with more gadgets and some cosmetic things I believe.

V8 and that Audi 5-cyl engines are very fine sounding engines, also Alfa V6 is quite incredible.

That rev counter was a bit OTT - he was shifting at 8k, so only had 2krpm of large-scale indication!

Sweet car though :-D

cheers
