We all know the sounds of the legendary Group B and the Audi Sport quattro. That fire breathing monster with the unique sound...that's the car that really brought Audi to my attention. I grew up in the South where the predominant sound of power were V8 muscle cars. I won't blather on so turn up the volume and revel in the 1-2-4-5-3 which Audi describes the 5-cylinder as producing that distinctive rhythm ...

If you've always wanted to own a works Group B spec Audi Sport quattro S1, this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed may be of interest to you. That's when chassis # SQ85EA905108, a former Hannu Mikkola / Arne Hertz example is headed to auction with Bonhams.

Whoa...this could be the Find of the Year. This is a legit Audi Sport 80 quattro rally car. It is thought to be one of just four Works 80 quattros built. Originally a Group B car, it was converted to Safari-spec...even cooler. Here's the ad:

We'll admit it. We're suckers for a cool T-shirt design and this Group B rally design from Blipshift most certainly qualifies. The car shows Audi's short wheelbase S1 catching air in the 1,000 Lakes rally.
Notably, 1,000 Lakes in Finland is very well known for its many, many jumps. The route is brutal on cars, sending them airborne and then crashing back down to the ground over, and over and over. It certainly makes for fantastic photography... and T-shirts.
Worth reminding, this is Bl...
