The evolution of the Quattro reached its zenith with the introduction of the Sport Quattro S1. Debuting in 1984, the S1 was a shorter, more agile version of its predecessors. Its lightweight chassis and potent engine, producing up to 444 horsepower, made it a rocket on wheels. The S1’s radical design, featuring a massive rear spoiler and flared fenders, was a visual testament to its performance prowess.
The Sport Quattro S1 E2, also known as the S1 E2, took the legacy even further. With even more power, improved aerodynamics, and advanced suspension, the S1 E2 was engineered for pure dominance. It gained fame for its distinctive sound—the roaring growl of its engine echoing through rally stages around the world.

I have owned several different models of Audi vehicles each with the Quattro Awd. I used the Audi a8l to start and continue my limousine business. These cars are pure luxury and power. I’ve retired from driving and have passed my business to our children knowing that they are safe while they drive our clients to their destinations. I currently drive an a7 Quattro with the 3.0l turbo. What a great driving experience!
