Find of the Day: Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak Tribute – 550 HP, Race-Bred, Custom Build

“It’s déjà vu all over again.” – Yogi Berra. That particular “Yogi-ism” seems apropos for the Audi Sport quattro S1 ​​Pikes Peak replica listed for sale at Auto Scout 24. One look and you may think that this is the car that Walter Röhrl won the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in back in 1987. Or you may remember it from the time we featured it as our Find of the Day a couple of years ago. Either way this is a very familiar-looking car and one that you can put in your garage today.

The Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak car needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous rally cars in history. The original car lives in the Audi Museum and is not for sale. However, don’t let that stop you from living out your rally driver fantasies. Bettels Performance specializes in recreating historic race cars and this particular recreation is presented for sale right now by Auto Scout 24.

Our previous profile of this car listed all the details, so there is no need to repeat all of that here. If you want to get the specifics, you can access our write-up from December 2023 by clicking HERE. But we do think it is worth reminding you of some of the highlights.

You of course get a car that looks exactly like the one that raced to the clouds in 1987. But this car offers more than just iconic looks. The five-cylinder in-line turbo makes 550 horsepower. You control it via a straight-toothed 6-speed dog-ring gearbox. Keeping you on the road is a custom-made KW Competition 3-way adjustable suspension. Stopping you is an AP Racing brake system. And keeping you safe is a Wicher’s security cell and a fire extinguishing system.

The car is just mental, and we mean that in the best way possible. It is located in Germany, so you will have to factor in the cost of importing it into the asking price of €330,000 ($382,457 USD). That isn’t cheap, but a Porsche 911 Dakar will cost you about the same and as great as that car is, it is no Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak car.
