Cinco (Cylinders) de Mayo find of the day: 1985 Copenhagen Blue Audi Sport quattro

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="47087"] words: Bill, photos: Woow Motors I know I've already posted a find of the day that also happens to be 5 cylinders today but this beats that...by a Swiss country mile. I say Swiss because it is located in Couvet Val-de travers, Switzerland. This is a Copenhagen Blue Sport quattro. I have to admit, it's my second favorite color after Malachite Green...or Tornado Red. Actually, it could be Toyota Beige® and I would still love it. Here's th...

From selling roughly 75,000 cars in 1985 to plunging to 23,000 in 1988 due to the unsubstantiated Audi 5000 'unintended acceleration' scandal, Audi was struggling to bring in buyers. One family, however, was not phased by the hysterics. They bought a new Audi 90 quattro off the lot and drove it home. That 90 quattro is the car you see here. [gallery link="none" ...

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="45804"] Words: Tim Enders, Photos: Fiskens and Petrolicious In the world of endurance racing, Audi has reigned as king for most of the past few decades. For those not familiar with the sport, endurance racing involves taking a race car and not only making it incredibly fast, but making it be able to go that fast for up to 24 hours with the only stops being for more fuel and tires. While Formula 1 cars might have an outright speed advantage, ...
