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.
Notice the funny rev counter.. 0 is the first number and after that comes 6000.

Boost comes on a little later. But as oldschool rally drivers already said "low end torque isn't real power"

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.

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
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
cheers
