Madrid, Spain – Audi and Salomon launch the Salomon edition quattro special edition, skis that combine innovation, design and technology to offer maximum performance in extreme conditions. Limited to 100 units, the special edition is inspired by the Audi quattro, the all-wheel drive sports coupe presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1980, which marked a before and after in the field of series and competition vehicles thanks to the revolutionary quattro traction.

The design of the Salomon quattro edition skis is directly inspired by the Audi quattro, the sports coupe that amazed the public in its presentation at the 1980 Geneva Motor Show, and that revolutionized motoring since its debut in competition with its victory in the Rally Sweden in 1981 and its dominance in the World Rally Championship consecutively in 1982, 1983 and 1984. Equipped with the innovative four-wheel drive, the Audi quattro was able to overcome the most extreme conditions, becoming an icon of efficiency and precision. With a legacy that transcends the world of motorsport, quattro technology has influenced the development of all Audi models and continues to be one of the hallmarks of the brand, synonymous with safety, power and sportiness.

The collaboration with Salomon, which shares the same passion for innovation in the world of skiing, and for looking for impossible challenges to overcome them, allows us to merge these two apparently distant worlds: the power, stability and precision of a competition vehicle with the lightness and dynamism of high-performance skis. The skis designed by Audi and Salomon are made for those who seek the impossible, who challenge the conventional and open new horizons in their passion for sport.

Technical innovation and exclusive design
The concept behind this collaboration reflects the essence of both brands: overcoming what seems unattainable. Audi and Salomon have stood out for challenging expectations. With this concept as the axis of the campaign, the launch of the Salomon quattro edition skis symbolizes the spirit of adventure, innovation and excellence that defines both companies.

Like the Audi quattro, these skis are designed to offer maximum performance in extreme conditions and offer expert skiers maximum performance on and off the track.

The Salomon quattro edition redefines the “All Mountain” concept, since they allow you to ski every day in any snow condition with the maximum performance of a 100% track ski and have the latest technology to access and enjoy freshly fallen snow. Among its main features they offer exceptional grip in situations of hard snow at any speed and in any type of turn, thanks to the “sandwich” type construction and a Titanal chassis located in the central part under the boot, thus offering all the quattro essence. The new Titanal platform and an “All Mountain” rocker give the ski superior agility to combine short turns with those with the highest radius with the greatest confidence, even at high speed.

The visual design of the skis also reflects the aesthetics and unique character of the Audi quattro. The aesthetic has been based on the colors of the sports car of the brand of the four rings that conquered the snow, with elegant lines and a sophisticated finish that conveys a feeling of speed and precision. The tones and graphic details evoke the famous decoration of the mythical model: white, gray, red and black stripes, merging the history of Audi with modern functionality.

A limited edition of only 100 units
The launch of these skis is a unique opportunity for ski fans and Audi fans. With a limited production of only 100 units, this collaboration is the best opportunity to own an exclusive piece of technology, design and performance. Salomon quattro edition skis, which will be available from February 2025 with a price of €1,499, can now be reserved through Audi’s online platforms.
