There’s a poster near my desk that has every Sport quattro made and what color they are. Of course, Tornado Red (128) dominates the palette followed by Alpine White (48), Copenhagen Blue (21), Malachite Green (15), and Black (2). This Sport quattro is one of the 21 Copenhagen Blue.I’ve seen Tornado Red and Malachite Green in person but not this color and I have to admit, it may be my favorite. Here’s the ad:
- One of 214 SWB Homologation examples
- One of just 21 in Copenhagen Blue
- Dashboard signed by Walter Röhrl
- The recent recipient of a $20,000 service
- Imported to the U.S. in 2018 where it joined a prominent US collection
- Colour – Copenhagen Blue
- Mileage – 12,055 KM (7,491 miles)
- Driver Position – LHD
- Price – Call
Mouse Motors is proud to present one of the most influential car designs in recent decades, the Audi Quattro Sport introduced four-wheel drive into the automotive mainstream.
A classic homologation model, Audi made just enough of these to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship. Of the 214, the factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (roughly $80,000).
The short-wheelbase Quattro Sport was a classic homologation model. Audi made just enough of these (214) to compete in the FIA World Rally Championship, which the original long-wheelbase version dominated in the early 1980s. The factory reserved 20 Quattro Sports, and just 164 were sold at an initial ticket price of DM 203,850 (about $80,000).
The Sport Quattro offered Audi’s most powerful engine in that series, which was rated at 306 horsepower, out of a turbocharged 5-cylinder DOHC 20-valve engine. The aluminum engine and Kevlar bodywork panels were designed to be lightweight, and top speed was claimed at 155 mph. The Quattro Sport also featured the first appearance of anti-lock brakes on an Audi Quattro.
With the short wheelbase and high-strung engine, driving the Quattro Sports provides a driving experience that is one to remember. Still, given the low production numbers, great motorsports history, and general sexiness of the car, it’s not at all surprising that the Quattro Sports has gained popularity over the last few years, pushing values toward the 7-figure range.
Sourced from Germany in 2018, this example was then imported to the United States. With limited use from 2018-2021, a full and thorough service was completed in September of ’22 totaling $20,000. Just 21 of these Quattro Sports were originally delivered in Copenhagen Blue so this presents a unique opportunity to acquire a very rare, desirable example.
As mentioned earlier, I love this color and combined with that interior? We featured another Copenhagen Blue back in 2020; that example had 31,441 miles and was listed for €650,000 ($704,759 USD). This one only has just under 7,500 miles and it’s here in the States. The dealer doesn’t list a price and showings are by appointment only. What would you price this 1 of 21 of 214 Audi Sport quattro AND has been autographed by Walter Röhrl? I really need to win the lottery. If you recently won the lottery, you can find this Sport quattro HERE.
